This research is based on physicochemical investigation of groundwater with special reference to fluoride and nitrate to evaluate the quality of groundwater of Pisangan region of Ajmer district (Rajasthan). Pisangan is a tehsil block of Ajmer district (Rajasthan) and located 35.2 km from Ajmer district headquarter. The groundwater resources of Pisangan region (Ajmer) has greatly been affected by the overexploitation and geochemical changes. This research work was investigated the physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater of Pisangan and its surrounding villages. For the physico-chemical investigation, sixteen groundwater specimens were bottled from Pisangan and its surrounding villages during postmonsoon of 2021 and investigated for various groundwater quality parameters with special reference to fluoride (F– ) and nitrate (NO3 – ). It was perceived that the physico-chemical investigation of groundwater of Pisangan and its surrounding villages shown an uneven contamination of both fluoride (F– ) and nitrate (NO3 – ), and most of the groundwater specimens were not as per the drinking water standards of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The groundwater of Pisangan region is found unsuitable for drinking purposes due to presence of fluoride (F– ) and nitrate (NO3 – ) beyond the maximum agreeable limit of drinking water standards of BIS.
