Concentration of heavy metals such as Mn, Pb, Zn, Fe, Co, Mo, Cr and Al together with Na and K in 16 water samples were estimated by AAS and flame photometer respectively in the month of Jan 2006. Fe, Pb and Na metals were found over the permissible level for drinking use (0.1-1.0, 0.05 and 175 ppm respectively) in well water of Khajuwala located in western region of Rajasthan. The highest concentration found was 1.22, 0.96 and 922 ppm for Fe, Pb and Na metal respectively. These results indicate that the water is not suitable for drinking purpose as well as for domestic purpose.
