Abstract
Physico-chemical studies of water around Nehru Sugar Factory, situated in Eraiyur was carried out during the year 2006. From an overall view of water quality parameters determined in our experimental area, it is found that in general, water is hard and it has high conductivity, alkalinity and TDS. This result reflects the presence of cations (Calcium, Magnesium etc.,) and phosphate, sulphate, fluoride, chloride etc. From the analysis we conclude that, the water in this area is not good for drinking and it may lead to some diseases.
