The wastewater used for irrigation purposes affects the groundwater quality and hence the local community of Pakistan. Field study was conducted in Chakera Village, Faisalabad and the analytical work was performed in Biochemistry Laboratory, Soil and water sample were collected in two surveys in a month on fifteen days basis with three replica of each sample. Samples were analyzed for quality parameters like pH, EC, TDS, TSS, Carbonate, Bicarbonates, Chloride and Nitrates. Results of the study revealed that untreated wastewater application raised the values of EC,TDS, Chloride and Nitrates when compared with world Health Organization (WHO). This not only degrades soil structure but also contaminates the groundwater causing severe health hazard to the local community. Carbonates and Bicarbonates were found within the permissible range.
