Abstract

Groundwater is an important resource that contributes highly to the total annual supply and also most significant natural resource required by humans for a secure and healthy living environment. However, groundwater is now contaminated due to a variety of factors such as urbanisation and industry. The present study is to check or analyse the water quality in and around the Kanchipuram district due to presence of highly populated and developing area with high potential for pollution. Groundwater samples were taken from the bore well and open well at twenty distinct places. The collected samples were tested for the Physicochemical test such as pH, Electrical Conductivity, Chloride, Total Hardness, Total Dissolved Solids, Calcium, Magnesium, Fluoride, Turbidity, Total Alkalinity, Iron, Nitrate, Nitrite, Free Ammonia, heavy metals such as Copper, Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, Zinc, the results were compared to BIS. The result revealed that GIS-based analysis has been carried out to find the spatial distribution of various parameters in the well stations.
