Abstract :

<p> Water quality index exhibits the overall water quality at a specific location and specific time based on several water quality parameters. The objective of an index is to turn complex quality data in to information that is understandable and useable by the public. For calculating the WQI following eight physcio–chemical parameters such as pH, Electrical conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Alkalinity, Chloride, Calcium and Fluoride were taken to assess the impact of pollutants due to anthropogenic activities. The water quality index value for the ground water ranges from 14.82 to 216.18. In the present study, the quality of water was found to be good except in few areas.</p>
