Abstract: The physical, chemical parameters and heavy metals were analysed from samples of selected surface water bodies during Monsoon, Post- monsoon, winter and Pre-monsoon seasons in year 2011-12 and 2012-13. The studied ponds situated near about an integrated steel and power plant at Mandir Hasoud, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. The colour, Odour, Turbidity, TDS, Total Hardness, Alkalinity, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Calcium and Magnesium and all the heavy metals were found well within the prescribed norm. The Fluoride concentration in the site SW-1, SW-2 and SW-4 found slightly higher than desired limit but under permissible limit of BIS. Iron concentration found higher than permissible limit in all the samples. The higher concentration of iron may be due to deposition of suspended particulate matter from atmosphere to surface that is emitted from nearest an integrated steel and power plant.
