Abstract |

|
| Groundwater is a very important natural source of water for the people of Tiruvannamalai due to lack of surface water sources. Excessive usage of fertilizers and geology of region cause the contamination of ground water in this region. 63 locations were identified, and the samples were analyzed using Piper plots, Gibbs diagram, Wilcox plots and Thematic spatial maps. Various quality parameters such as WQI, SAR, Na%, and PI% have been calculated to get a holistic picture of ground water quality in the district.
