Abstract

In the present paper, we are trying to elucidate the status of water quality of Dhauladhar range of district Kangra Himachal Pradesh. Various literatures provide the analysis of water quality in several parts of the world confirming water contamination caused by the anthropogenic activities and nature induced situations. The groundwater of Kangra district is affected by intrusion of salt water or toxic substances penetrating through the soil. Kangra is the most populated district of Himachal Pradesh, India, and has been a victim of low water quality attributed to factors such as agriculture, industries and tourism. These aspects have led to reduced quality of water thereby causing insufficient water quantity. While several water samples suggest the bacteriological presence in Kangra’s water resources, the groundwater board has affirmed that groundwater quality has not been compromised.
