ABSTRACT

The present investigation pays attention on the physico-chemical parameters of both surface water and underground water in different regions of Coimbatore in winter season (July- December 2021). The surface water samples were collected at lakes in Mettupalayam, Muthannakulam, Vellalore, Thamaraikulam, Kurichi and Perur. The underground water samples were collected at Premier nagar, Pollachi, Mettupalayam, Hope college, Thudiyalur and Saravanampatti. The physico-chemical parameters like pH, Turbidity, TDS, Alkalinity, Total hardness, Dissolved oxygen, Chloride, Nitrates, Nitrites, Fluorides, Calcium, Potassium and Sodium were analyzed. The results suggested that the overall quality of surface and ground water is suitable for domestic purpose not for suitable for drinking.
