%X This study was conducted to evaluate fluoride contamination in ground
water of the central part of Nagaur district where ground water is the main
source of drinking as well as irrigation. Samples from hand pumps and tube
wells of forty four stations were analyzed during the summer session with the
help of standard methods of APHA. The analytical results show that eleven
ground water samples are unfit for drinking purpose. A map has been prepared
using an inverse distance weighting method which shows the fluoride concentration
in the study area. The maximum concentration was recorded in the Sirsi village
while the minimum was found in Sabalpura.
