Abstract

We have determined the current status of physic-chemical contaminants of ground water samples of bore wells and hand pumps collected from 10 different locations in Namagiripettai village, Rasipuram Taluk in Namakkal district. Physic-chemical parameters such as pH, Electrical conductivity (EC), Total dissolved solids(TDS), Total Hardness( TH), Total Alkality(TA), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Manganese( Mn2+), Iron (Fe2+),Sodium ( Na+), Potassium( K+),Ammonium(NH3 +), Nitrate (NO3 -), Nitrite(NO2 -), Fluorine(F-), Chlorine(Cl-), Sulphate (SO4 2-), Phosphate( PO4 2-), were analyzed by standard procedure. The results were compared with standards approved by WHO. The statically tool as correlation coefficient analysis was drawn to locate possible interrelations among measured of water quality statistics. An effort has been made to find whether the quality of ground water appropriate for drinking purposes or not in the Namagiripettai village, Rasipuram Taluk in Namakkal district.
