Abstract: Innovative methods of cultivation of food crops, unplanned rapid growth in urbanization to cater the needs of the growing population, the chemical process either by effluent from industries or by the application of chemical pesticide and manures to the plant have created negative impact on the ground water aquifer. Random samples were collected from open wells in periyakallapadi village. Where the contamination of ground water is largely reported and analysis done. The physico-chemical parameter which contaminate the ground water such as total dissolved solid (TDS), Electrical conductivity(EC), pH, total hardness (Na+), SO4, NO3, Cl- have been analyzed by standard method. The study reveals that the quality of ground water is not suitable both for irrigation and drinking, as most of the values are beyond the acceptable limits prescribed by WHO and irrigation standards.
