2 Abstract: Groundwater pollution has been an issue of concern for environmentalists, since the pollution could be hardly reformed. The best accepted option is to avoid the possibility of polluting the ground water sources. Municipal solid waste, in developing nations projects a strong threat to this precious natural source of fresh water. This study aims to detect the possibilities of ground water quality deteriorations due to the improper solid waste dumping with special reference to heavy metal pollution. Since it is well established fact that the heavy metal ions are potentially toxic to human health and could be quite detrimental for human life.
