Abstract

Determination of physical and chemical characteristics of water is essential for assessing the suitability of water for drinking, industrial and household uses. Keeping this view, the present work was aimed to assess the quality of ground water in certain locations of Kavundampalayam panchayat in Coimbatore. In the present investigation, 15 bore wells located in different areas of Kavundampalayam panchayat were chosen for analysis. The different sampling stations were grouped into three zones with five stations each. On the basis of the analysis of groundwater, it is concluded that ground water quality varied drastically at different sites.
