Assessment of Thiruvarur region groundwater samples using Physicochemical parameters

Groundwater is one of the most important sources of water for drinking and irrigation purpose in the world. So water quality analysis is important one. Hence we choose to determine physicochemical parameter of Thiruvarur region groundwater. In this study, 10 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed various physicochemical parameters such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, pH, TDS, etc., and compare with BIS limit value for determine the drinking water quality. From the research Results the groundwater sample numbers S3, S5, S6, S7 and S8 was slightly alkaline in nature, because these region groundwater has slightly excess of TDS and Total Alkalinity (TA) compare than BIS limit. However, all the water samples has low hardness, SO4-, NO3-, etc., Hence, we are concluded the collected groundwater samples is suitable for drinking and irrigation purpose.
