Abstract: The present paper was intended to assess the water quality of river Doomar in Barkagaon range of Dry Peninsular Sal Forest, Hazaribagh. In order to determine the quality of its water for public use, drinking and other purposes, fourteen parameters like temperature, pH, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate and iron were determined. Watershed of the river was studied in depth to understand the drainage pattern and flow accumulation of the area. Water samples were collected from eight different sampling stations of the river Doomar near its origin to the point of confluence of the river Sakri near Kandtari village. Hydrochemistry of the water samples in the study area has indicated that the current status of local stream is satisfactory for drinking purposes with a few incidences of high Iron, mostly due to the rock composition and geothermal activity of the area.
