PHYSIO –CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF GROUNDWATER IN ERODE DISTRICT
Abstract
The groundwater quality is a major problem in different parts of our country. In Tamilnadu the groundwater is the only alternative source when surface water becomes scarce in pre-monsoon seasons. Higher concentrations in excess of the permissible limit in drinking water have been linked to health problems, especially in infants. In this study 38 groundwater samples were collected from different locations in Erode district. Water quality assessment was carried out for the parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorides, Nitrates, Sulphates and Fluorides. The chemical characteristics of groundwater have been studied to evaluate the suitability of groundwater for domestic and irrigational purposes.
