The aim of present study is to analyze the scientific production which deals with the study of groundwater. The maximum value of pH was observed in the month of February and minimum value was from June month and the average value was 7.5. The maximum value of temperature was observed in the month of May was 28.3 0 C and minimum value was 25.3 0 C from March month and the average value was 26.9 0 C. The maximum value of Electrical conductivity was observed in the month of February was 75.6 µS/cm and minimum value was 56.9 µS/cm from March month and the average value of Electrical conductivity was 67.83 µS/cm. The maximum value of DO was observed in the month of January i.e. 13.6 mg/litre and minimum value was from May month and the average value was 11.56 mg/litre. The maximum value of BOD was observed in the month of January i.e. 27.9 and minimum value was 16.3mg/litre from April month and the average value was 22.53mg/litre. The maximum value of COD was observed in the month of April was.13.2 and minimum value was 9.2 from January month and the average value was 11.2 mg/litre. The maximum value of TDS was observed in the month of January was 358 and minimum value was 289 mg/litre from May month and the average value was 327 mg/litre. The maximum value of Turbidity was observed in the month of June i.e. 6.1 and minimum value was from February month and the average value was 3.6 NTU. The present research study aims to identify the proper areas of water pumping for drinking as well as agricultural harvest in the study region. Industrialization and Urbanization, other manmade activities which affect the quality of groundwater. Key Words: groundwater, physicochemical, parameters, water, quality. 1. INTRODUCTION Groundwater is the most important natural resource for the human consumption and support of habitat and for maintaining the feature of base flow to river courses, while its quality is necessary to ensure sustainable safe exploit of the resources for all the purposes. Surface water is the main resource for drinking and domestic purposes, its scarcity because of industrial development and population growth; it makes people by forcing to use groundwater for the portable and domestic uses in urban areas in Aurangabad. Water have many applications and every organism need it, a study of water from different the aspects which becomes essential (Potadar et al., 2021; Padalkar and Kumar, 2018).The groundwater quality is the importance of every one of those procedures and responses that follow on water from the tiny it is primarily gathered until the time which is stored in a well that is regularly controlled by numerous physicochemical attributes. Groundwater plays a very important role in public water supplies around the world. Universally, more than two billion peoples are depend on the groundwater for their daily need of water supply and more than half of the world’s population depends on the groundwater for drinking purpose (Anthony; 2006).At the same time the amount of groundwater consumption has been rapidly increasing may achieving sustainable development of groundwater resources is one of the significant objectives for the future of nations. Groundwater is the universal largest distributed house of fresh water which is central to sustaining the ecological systems and human alteration to the climate change. Sustainability management of the groundwater resources is particularly important, with 50% of the global drinking water and 43% of irrigation sourced from the aquifers. Due to the rigorous groundwater exploitation, saltwater interference and the land subsidence may become serious concerns in some of the areas among the other environmental threats and the geological hazards. Water is the largest universal liquid of the Earth, it is very important to all the life forms. It is best dispersion medium for all the biochemical reactions of the living process on the earth. Water is an essential nutrient and is an essential component of every cell, tissue, and the organ. Water has ability to dissolve organic as well as inorganic compounds in it; hence water is called as universal solvent (Potadar et al., 2021; Jadhav and Jadhav, 2017). Due to the severe destruction of water quality, available water resources are more and more becoming not suitable or even harmful for the human consumption (Saraswat et al. 2016; Vorosmarty et al. 2000). Groundwater pollution is found in a range of aquifers of unconsolidated sedimented regions to bedrocks (Kumar et al. 2010; Smedley and Kinniburgh 2002). Groundwater ontamination by trace elements has turned recently out as a main concern for the policy planners in the countries like India and in the sub continental zones
