Abstract
Water pollution is a serious problem in the global context. It is leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. There are nearly half million people in India suffering from ailment due to excess of fluoride in drinking water. This study is based on the Tiruppur area in Tamilnadu. The result shows that the drinking water supply is quite inadequate to meet the water requirements in the study area. The respondents are slowly moving to private bottled and packages of water to meet their drinking purposes due to water pollution and inadequacy of water supply. The income also plays a determinist role in deciding to take quality of drinking water.
