Assessment of Ground Water Quality of Salem Taluk in Salem District, Tamil Nadu, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
A few ground water samples of Salem Taluk were analyzed for their physico-chemical parameters including fluoride content. The water samples were collected during pre-monsoon (June-July 2010) and post-monsoon (Dec 2010 – Jan 2011) seasons from three different sources, viz., open well (OW), bore well (BW), hand pump and Lake. The physico-chemical parameters viz., temperature, pH, Total Alkalinity (TA), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Salinity(SAL), Calcium Hardness (CH), Magnesium Hardness (MH), Total Hardness (TH), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Solids (TS) and fluoride were determined for the water samples. Each parameter was compared with the standard permissible limit prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO).The Karl Pearson Correlation matrix has approved the influence of CH on TH with significantly positive correlation, while TSS shows negative correlation with all other parameters. The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) shows that majority of samples have the Scale forming but not corrosive nature with positive LSI values. The Water Quality Index (WQI) based on pH reflected that most of the samples are acceptable for drinking.
