Water quality monitoring is a matter of utmost importance to maintain the quality of potable sources in rapidly growing areas. Recognizing the factors that have an impact on the quality of water source is vital. To assess the impact of population growth on groundwater quality for drinking, a study was undertaken in a capital city of eastern India. Based on density of residents, the study area was grouped into five clusters; covering all clusters a sum of fifty-eight samples from drinking water sources was collected and characterized by relevant water quality parameters. The nonparametric Kruskal – Wallis χ2 was significant for all the parameters and a transition of NO3 and K from densely to sparsely inhabited area had become evident from multi-comparison test and subsequently denoted the effect of population density on drinking water quality parameters in the study area.
