- Abstract
A research study on groundwater quality was conducted in the Kanchipuram municipality during July 2015. Samples of ground water were collected from 17 different locations in the study area which is nearby in the municipal solid waste dump yard. Both physical and chemical parameters have been analysed to find the water quality and to understand the influence of solid waste dump yard. Physico-Chemical parameters such as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH, Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Free Ammonia (NH3), Nitrate (NO3), Chloride (Cl), Fluoride (F), Sulphate (SO4) and Phosphate (PO4) were tested. Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to identify the location. By using Geographical Information System (GIS) spatial map of the study area with sample locations was prepared. Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated for the study area to know the quality of groundwater.
