Abstract: Kolar District is in eastern dry agro climatic zone ok Karnataka. It experiences a semi-arid climate, characterized by the typical monsoon, tropical weather with hot summer and mild winters. The rainfall in the District is very erratic and maximum fluctuations is recorded in recent years. The main occupation of people of Kolar District is agriculture. In the absence of surface water irrigation system, groundwater is the main source fordrinking as well as irrigation. Presently 94 % of drinking water is met by ground water. Hence quality is important for drinking water. The physico-chemical parameters of water are main criteria in determining of its quality. This paper deals with the study of pH concentration of groundwater drawn from bore wells of various villages of Kolar district. 50 different samplings source were selected for procurement of water and analyzed pH concentration. Variation in the concentration of pH in the water samples were observed according to norms of IS 10500:2012. The study helps to understand in the potential threat of pH concentration to the ground water resources and its quality.
