In order to evaluate the physicochemical properties of groundwater quality in Khanapur Taluka, Sangli District, representative groundwater samples from a total of 65 bore wells and 35 dug wells were collected in the pre monsoon and post-monsoon seasons of 2014. The physico chemical studies of water samples from dug wells and bore wells show that alkaline earths exceed alkalies (Ca + Mg > Na + K) hydrochemical facies are present in 100% of pre and post-monsoon samples. Similarly, 100% dug well and bore well water samples belongs to weak acid exceed strong acid (HCO3 +CO3 > Cl+SO4) hydrochemical facies in pre and post monsoon seasons. Out of 35 samples of water taken from dug wells in the pre-monsoon season, 12 (34.29%) and 5 (14.29%) fell into the C2 S2 and C2 S1 categories, respectively, indicating good water quality for irrigation. 15 samples (42.86%) belong to C3 S2, which indicates bad water quality for irrigation, while 3 samples (8.57%) belong to C3 S1, which indicates medium water quality for irrigation. 18 samples (51.43%) from the post-monsoon season and 4 samples (11.43%) that belong to the C2 S2 and C2 S1 types, respectively, indicate good water quality for irrigation. Two samples (5.71%) fit the C3 S1 type, indicating that the water is of a medium quality for irrigation. 10 samples (28.57%) are of the C3 S2 type, indicating bad irrigation water quality, and 1 sample (2.28%) is of the C3 S3 type, indicating very bad irrigation water quality. Similar to this, out of 65 samples of pre monsoon bore well water, 4 samples (6.15%) and 14 samples (21.54%) respectively belong to the C2 S1 and C2 S2 types, indicating good water quality for irrigation. 4 samples (6.15%) fall within the C2 S3 type, which indicates irrigation water of medium quality. 38 samples (58.46%) belong to the C3 S2 type, indicating bad irrigation water quality, while 5 samples (7.69%) belong to the C3 S3 type, indicating very bad irrigation water quality. 15 samples (23.08%) and 10 samples (15.38%) from the post monsoon season are of the C2 S1 and C2 S2 types, respectively, indicating good water quality for irrigation. 15 samples (23.88%) fall within the C3 S1 class, which denotes irrigation water with a medium grade. 22 samples (33.85%) are of the C3 S2 type, indicating bad irrigation water quality, while 3 samples (4.62%) are of the C3 S3 type, indicating very bad irrigation water quality. According to the Gibbs variation diagram, rock dominance is what regulates the chemistry of groundwater
