摘要:Groundwater plays a vital role in supplying water all over the world. The qualitative and quantitative assessment of water for drinking purpose is done by understanding its physico-chemical and bacteriological properties. A study on hydrogeochemistry is done to understand the utilization of groundwater for various purposes. A total of 170 groundwater samples were collected from the Villupuramdistrict and they are measured for major ions during premonsoon. The measured ions taken into consideration, to understand the suitability of groundwater for consumption, cultivation and household purpose and also to identify the hydrogeochemical processes. The study implies that most of the groundwater samples are suitable for agricultural purpose and unsuitable for domestic and drinking purpose. The study also identify that hydrogeochemistry of the region is mainly influenced by weathering processes.
