The physico-chemical ex-situ study was conducted for 21 groundwater sample of SIDCUL - Udham Singh Nagar district, Uttarakhand. The various physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Bicarbonate (HCO3), Carbonate (CO3), Chloride (Cl-), Turbidity and Nitrate (NO3) were determined using standard procedures. BIS water quality standard for drinking purpose was used to compare the results. BIS standard was used to generate spatial distribution thematic maps of groundwater quality parameters for drinking purpose. pH of the study area showed that sixteen ground water samples were found unsuitable for drinking purpose. WQI thematic maps indicated the groundwater of all sites were found excellent over an area of 4.58 km2 with 14.07% area, good over an area of 18.24 km2 with 56.03% area, poor over an area of 6.33 km2 with 19.44% area, very poor over an area of 1.50 km2 with 4.62% area, unsuitable over an area of 1.89 km2 with 5.81% area.
