A study to assess the quality of drinking water is very essential for knowing whether the various impurities of water should be within allowable limit. Ground water samples from different educational institutions situated in Rajshahi City Corporation have been analyzed in order to check its quality especially for drinking purposes. The various important qualities of water such as pH, iron, manganese, chlorides, arsenic, total solids, dissolved solids, suspended solids, total acidity, total alkalinity, BOD, COD, DO, color, turbidity, hardness, CO2 of water, fecal and total coliform were tested. The values of all parameters except pH and total acidity in water samples collected from all locations were found satisfactory. In supply water of these educational institutions contain high concentration of DO, COD, total and fecal coliform, electric conductivity. These qualities of water cause harmful effect on human health. Water qualities of Rajshahi Polytechnique Institute, Rajshahi College and Rajshahi Govt. Degree College were observed satisfactory compared to other institutions
