The water which contains high concentration of bicarbonates chlorides, sulfates and nitrates of calcium and magnesium is hard water. Water is the essence of life but water with high degree of hardness is of no use for domestic and industrial applications. Six samples of ground water have been collected from selected area-six villages from Nagpur district, Maharashtra, India. The hardness of water samples is determined by EDTA titrimetric method. The result of all tested samples shown that all samples (A-E) were very hard in nature. The hardness level of Water Sample-D is high as compared to other water sample. The present Study did not reveal any soft water. The present study aware to public to know about the degrees of hardness in underground water and its effects.
