Physiochemical characteristics analysis of surface water and underground water during the summer season

Abstract

The present paper has virtual importance on the physicochemical characteristics of both underground water and surface water in various places of Coimbatore in the summer season (March-June 2021). The surface water tests were gathered from near lakes around Coimbatore, Pollachi, and Tirupur the underground water was gathered from near, Pollachi, Coimbatore, and Tirupur. The physicochemical properties such as Dissolved Oxygen, TDS, pH, Turbidity, Alkalinity, Calcium, Total hardness, Chloride, Nitrates, Nitrites, Fluorides, Potassium, and Sodium were tested. The outcome results showed that the analyzed ground and surface water is fit for domestic purposes and not for drinking purposes.
