*J. Sirajudeen, V. Manivel, and S. Arul Manikandan
ABSTRACT Ground water samples were collected from different localities in and around Karumandapam area, near koraiyar river, Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu. Ten groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for physico chemical parameter such as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Biological Oxygen Demand(BOD),Chemical Oxygen, Demand(COD),Calcium(Ca), Magnesium(Mg),Total Hardness (TH), Bicarbonate (HCO3), and Nitrate (NO3) in order to understand the different geochemical processes affecting the groundwater quality. The analytical data were compared with WHO. The analytical results indicate that the majority groundwater samples are unsuitable for drinking purposes. The aquifers of the study area are polluted due to the intersession of sewage are industrial effluents of fertilizers. Keywords: Groundwater, physicochemical parameter, and water quality index.
