Abstract
As water is the most essential compound for living organism. Excess heavy metal causes health problems though some of them are essential in trace amounts. In this work, water samples were collected from 10 different locations of rapid developing Bilasiparatown. The water samples are then analyzed with standard methods for the determination of heavy metals namely As, Cr, Fe, Ni, and Pb. Arsenic concentrations of all the sample were within the WHO permissible limit (10µg/L). The average concentration of Cr, Fe, Ni, and Pb was found higher than the prescribed limit of WHO in most of the sources. The town is industrially underdeveloped, chemical contamination from industrial sources is insignificant, yet the water cannot be categorized as pollution free. Contaminated water is generally responsible for the spread, recurrence, and fatal consequences of various diseases.
