Summary:A two-year study of the seasonal variations in fluoride concentration was carried out from November 2006 to October 2008 in the groundwaters of Mysore city with five zones. The fluoride concentration in the water samples of east and west zones showed significant seasonal changes during both the years. However in north, south and central zones, fluoride concentration did not establish any variations in both the years. The highest fluoride value of 0.46 mg/L was recorded in the west zone and the lowest of 0.22 mg/L in the east zone. The probable causes for such variations in fluoride concentration in these groundwater samples have been discussed.
