ABSTRACT
to examine the variations of fluoride content and pH of lower Manar project water at Nanded
district of Maharashtra for assessing the suitability of water for drinking; irrigation and industrial
purposes. An average fluoride concentration of water was 0.38 mg/l having range of 0.22 mg/l
(January) to 0.60 mg/l (May). It was below the prescribed standards of BIS, ICMR and WHO for
drinking. The pH was in the range of 7.2 to 8.2 and is within the desirable limits. Maximum pH
