Abstract

Ground water is the water present inside the solid surface in the pore soil space. In
cities, the people use ground water for their domestic use, in village the people use ground
water for the agriculture process. Industries use ground water for their production purpose. The
present study has been carried out to evaluate hydrochemical characteristic of ground water of
Coimbatore district, TamilNadu, India. Geographical information system (GIS) has been
applied to visualize the spatial distribution of groundwater quality in the study area. Twenty
different samples were collected and analyzed for different hydrochemical parameters. The
ground water in the study area is alkaline in nature. Nine samples within the area have more
than maximum level of total dissolved solids. Five samples are having sodium in above
maximum allowable limit. Only six samples have permissible limit in potassium in the area.
Based on chloride, 90% of samples are within permissible limit. In total hardness, seven
samples were exceed the allowable limit. In this agriculture area and industrial area water
qualities are not much different maybe all agriculture area also has some industries or dump
yard is a reason. The results obtained in this study and the spatial database established in GIS
will be helpful for monitoring and managing ground water pollution in this study area.
