Deciphering groundwater quality for drinking and irrigation in rural areas of Paramakudi block, Tamil Nadu
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
The groundwater quality of Paramakudi block in Tamil Nadu, was assessed for drinking and irrigation water use. Totally, 17 groundwater samples were collected randomly from bore wells and hand pumps. The physical parameters pH, EC have been determined in the field itself and major ions were analyzed in laboratory. There are various water quality parameters such as TH, scholler diagram, piper diagram, index of base exchange, Gibb’s diagram, chloro-alkaline indices, corrosivity ratio USSL diagram, ilcox diagram, RSC, permeability index, , to know the suitability of groundwater for irrigation purposes. Based on the analytical results, groundwater in the area is generally moderately hard to very hard, brackish, high to very high saline and alkaline in nature. The erratic behaviors of groundwater geochemical elements were spatially given through GIS study. Sodium ion is the most dominant cations and chloride ion as the dominant anions. Assessment of water samples from various methods indicated that groundwater is chemically unsuitable for drinking and irrigation uses in few areas. In general, groundwater in the study area is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic activities.
