Abstract:

This study is focused on the quality of groundwater and its suitability for domestic and irrigation purposes at the Cuddalore district. The study area is chosen based on the vulnerability of seawater intrusion, and the location is identified for the collection of samples. The description represents the impacts of the groundwater and seawater intrusion in that area. The groundwater samples were collected from various sources such as bore well, hand pumps, dug well, irrigation water in and around the seashore region. This gives information about the salts, acids, etc.…present in water. Some of the samples were suitable for drinking purposes, and some samples for agricultural purposes. These samples were collected in polythene cans and been tested. Both the physical and chemical analyses were done properly within the time duration. The water samples are tested as per IS specifications, and the analysis is done for fluoride, chloride, total dissolved solids, total hardness, pH, calcium, etc. The quality of the groundwater and its suitability for irrigation purposes are varying. The water samples are tested in the laboratory and checked their salt content, and they are stabilized. The comparison of groundwater samples presents data to the 10 years old records of cuddalorethe chemical properties are increased due to industrialization and seawater intrusion. This paper presents the groundwater impacts, characteristics, and suitability.
