Study was undertaken to study the spatial distribution of groundwater quality in
coastal region of Nagapattinam District is derived using the water quality index
(WQI). Nagapattinam lies between Northern Latitude 10.7906 degrees and
79.8428 degrees Eastern longitude. The district spreads over an area of 2,715.83
sq.km. The data of pre and post monsoon were collected from Office of State
Surface & Ground Water Data Centre, Public Works Department, Taramani,
Chennai, Tamil Nadu and average was worked out and taken for analysis of
physico-chemical compositions in the groundwater and also for water quality
index for the year 1972-2013 (42 years). In this study water quality determined
on the basis of various physical and chemical parameters like pH, Electrical
Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Nitrate, Calcium, Sulfate, Magnesium,
Fluoride, Total Hardness, Sodium, Chloride, Fluride, Carbonate and Bicarbonate.
The current groundwater quality study reveals that groundwater in the
Nagapattinam block is unfit for drinking and is suitable for domestic usage and
agriculture with effective crop management practices.
