V. Kasthuri, Dr. M. Periyasamy
Abstract: The present study deals with the physico-chemical characteristics of well water in and around villages of Kolathur block, Salem District, Tamil Nadu India. For the present study water samples from the well were collected at ten places in Kolathur Block, Salem District, Tamil Nadu, India. Physico-chemical characteristics such as colour, temperature, odour, pH, electrical conductivity, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, dissolved oxygen and dissolved carbon-di-oxide were analysed as per APHA, 1990. All the parameters were within the permissible limit at Site I. At Site II content of calcium were above the standard prescribed permissible limits of BIS. At Site III content of chloride were above the standard prescribed permissible limits of BIS. Site I water was ideal and suitable for irrigation purposes.
