An Experimental Analysis on Groundwater samples near Perundurai, Erode District, Tamil Nadu, India.

This study was carried out to assess the impacts of industrial activities on the ground water quality around SIPCOT Industrial complex, Perundurai of Erode District in Tamil Nadu. The quality was assessed in terms of physicochemical parameters. Ground water samples were collected from eight (8) different locations in Perundurai around SIPCOT industries in different directions (Grouped under East, North and South) during January 2020. The physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Total dissolved solids (TDS), Turbidity, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Total alkalinity, Total hardness, Permanent Hardness, Temporary Hardness, Chloride (Cl -), Sulphate (SO42-) were analyzed to know the present status of the bore well water quality. The results were compared with standards prescribed by IS 10500-2012. It was found that the underground water was highly contaminated at South direction and partially at North direction. The sampling site in East direction shows most of the physicochemical parameters near to the water quality standards and further increase in distance of sampling, the quality of water is good for drinking purpose.
