Lot of work has been done and published already on the ground water quality of many village in other taulk of trichy district. But in the manachanallur taulk, there is a need to undertake the study to assess the drinking water quality. Hence water samples of ten villages were subjected to physico-chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), Calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), Nitrate (NO3-), Sulphate (SO4 2-) were analyzed (APHA, 1998) The results were compared with standards prescribed by ISI 10500-91/ICMR/WHO and suitable suggestion were made.. The correlation coefficients were calculated for water quality assessment.
