Ambarnath town in Thane district of Maharashtra having industrial zone around it. For the study purpose seven ground water samples around industrial area were selected and analyzed for Total Hardness parameter. Samples were collected from Jan.2013 to June 2013 and analyzed throughout 6 months for Total Hardness parameter. Total Hardness in study area was found between 154 to 256 to mg/l. Total Hardness at all sampling Stations were found below permissible limit of BIS. At sampling station S1 (Kansai Gaon Open well) and S2 (Kansai Hand pump) Total Hardness were found more than acceptable limit by BIS i.e. above 200 mg/l indicates nature of the geological properties of the area with which water have been in contact.
