Abstract
Water is the most important commodity and mainly most misused one. Groundwater is the main principal source for drinking water and other activities in Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal district, Tamilnadu, India. It is an indispensable source of our life. The problem of groundwater quality obtains high importance in this present-day, whether in the study area or any other countries in the world. The present study was carried out to analyse and evaluate the groundwater samples collected from residential areas of Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal district, Tamilnadu, India. The parameters studied were pH, Temperature, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Total Dissolved Solid, Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate, Sulphate and Fluoride. Suitable correlation studies have been carried out among all possible pairs of 19 Physico-chemical groundwater quality parameters of various groundwater samples collected from Tiruchengode area of Namakkal district, (Tamilnadu), India. Correlation study indicates that different parameters are strongly interrelated. The correlation and regression provides an excellent tool for the prediction of parameter values within reasonable degree of accuracy.
