Abstract A survey to determine the characteristics of groundwater qualities in Kangwon-Do, which was divided 4 regions, was conducted from January to December in 1994. The results showed that the pesticides and chlorinated ethenes were not detected in the potable groundwater. But ca. 40% of the groundwaters were not satisfied the Korea Drinking Water Quality Standards because of the microbiological aspects, nitrates and Zinc, etc. The concentrations of pH, Zinc and consumption of KMnO₄ were not varied much, but the variation of the concentrations for chlorides and nitrates in each region were relatively high. Also the seasonal changes for the hardness and sulfates were within 10%, while the nitrates and chlorides were ranged from 15.5% to 18.0% in Chuncheon.
