Abstract

The groundwater is a fundamental and important wellspring of water gracefully everywhere on the world. Water quality alludes to the physical, substance, natural attributes of water. The present study aims in determining the ground water quality in Coleroon (Kollidam) river regions of Komaratchi block in Cuddalore district, Tamilnadu. Water samples for the analysis are collected from hand pipe, bore well in the kollidam river region and are analysed for physio-chemical parameters like pH, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Oxidation Demand, Chemical Oxidation Demand, Total Hardness, Alkalinity and Chloride. Assembling different parameters into one single number leads to an easy interpretations of water quality. However, the WQI values in the present investigation varied from 91 to 321 indicating that the water is unfit for drinking and domestic purpose. Therefore, people should be made aware of the water quality importance on sanitation and economical water treatment methods to avoid waterborne diseases.Therefore; water quality is not up to the standard.
