ABSTRACT Water is a vital source of life and quality of water is major concern now-a-days. Water is limited resource and demand for it is increasing at an alarming rate. Safe clean and adequate drinking water is vital for existence of all living organism. Ayurveda being the science of life gives us great scope as a researcher. There are various techniques mentioned in Ayurvedic classics for purification of ‘Dushita Jala’ from the times of Veda’s. Acharya’s focused on water purification they described that a sunray passing through the water purifies it. In Samhita Kala, the number of techniques increased. Acharya Sushruta and Vagbhatta have mentioned to use various plants and method to purify water. Various Nighantu also mentioned different techniques. With urbanization, there are changes in the lifestyle of individuals and their food habits. Therefore, based on the ease of availability of materials, storage of water needs to be analyzed by simple parameters such as total dissolved solutes (TDS) that comprises inorganic salts such as bicarbonates, sulfates, and chlorides and a small amount of organic matter that is dissolved in water. A high level of TDS indicates water is unfit for consumption and may lead to nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc., TDS level indicates whether water is suitable for consumption or it requires filtration. Key words: Ayurveda, Veda, Acharyas, Dushit Jala.
