Present study was designed to obtain estimation about ground water quality of Bhimber, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan. A total of 12 water samples were collected from different localities of study area to analyze for various physicochemical and biological parameters i.e. namely temperature, pH, turbidity, color, odor, taste, electric conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (Calcium + Magnesium), chloride, arsenic, phosphate, lead, ammonium ion, nitrite, and Results exposed that all ground water samples of study area were grossly contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms like and except one water sample that was obtained from community filter plant Samahni Chowk site. Besides it, values of some physicochemical water quality determining parameters also deviated from recommended limits of World Health Organization (WHO). Chloride ion concentration was little below the prescribed limits in almost all water samples. It has been proven that consumption of un-safe drinking water is one of the major cause of prevalence of water borne diseases like diarrhea, gastroenteritis, typhoid fever and malaria etc. in study area. Community water supply and sanitation projects should be encouraged government should provide filter plants in all regions of the country so that people could have easy approach to safe drinking water.
本研究旨在对巴基斯坦阿扎德克什米尔地区比姆伯的地下水水质进行评估。从研究区域的不同地点共采集了12份水样，以分析各种物理化学和生物学参数，即温度、pH值、浊度、颜色、气味、味道、电导率（EC）、总溶解固体（TDS）、总硬度（钙 + 镁）、氯化物、砷、磷酸盐、铅、铵离子、亚硝酸盐，结果显示，研究区域的所有地下水样本均受到诸如[未提及的致病微生物名称]等致病微生物的严重污染，但从萨马尼乔克社区过滤厂采集的一份水样除外。此外，一些测定水质的物理化学参数值也偏离了世界卫生组织（WHO）的推荐限值。几乎所有水样中的氯离子浓度略低于规定限值。事实证明，饮用不安全的水是研究区域腹泻、肠胃炎、伤寒热和疟疾等水源性疾病流行的主要原因之一。应鼓励社区供水和卫生项目，政府应在该国所有地区提供过滤厂，以便人们能够方便地获得安全饮用水。
