STUDY OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUNDWATER AT ERODE, TAMILNADU, INDIAS. RAMESH AND G.VENNILAAbstract The fast industrial growth and unsuitable agricultural practices have led to contaminate the water sources. The present study deals with the evaluation of ground water quality at different locations of Erode, Tamil Nadu. Water samples were collected from different locations and analyzed for various water quality parameters like pH, Turbidity, Electrical conductivity, Total dissolved solids, Total hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Nitrate, Chloride, Fluoride, Sulphate and Total Alkalinity to evaluate their quality. The results indicate that the water has grossly high values of Hardness and Alkalinity, which makes the water unfit for drinking.
