Abstract

The present study is accomplished to evaluate the quality of groundwater on the bank of Noyyal river for the purpose of drinking and domestic usage by using correlation analysis. The study was carried out for three successive years in both summer and rainy seasons (2013-2015). The results were evaluated and compared with WHO water quality standards. The statistical data predict that the groundwater quality is unsuitable for drinking purposes in the study area.
