Abstract

Water is the natural resource which are facing tremendous depletion in its quality because of increased consumption, ever growing population, industries etc,. The access of physiochemical parameters will have a clear knowledge on water quality standards in their different environmental conditions. The study accessed on Vallanadu pond, Udayairkulampond and DeviseyalPuram ponds of Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu, India showed their physical examinations such as appearance, colour, odour are in acceptable range. Turbidity, TDS, electrical conductivity of the water samples are above permissible limits. The chemical examinations such as pH alkalinityCaCo3,Total alkalinity, total hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Nitrate, fluoride, Sulphate, Phosphate, tidy test are within permissible limits in all the three ponds. The Parameters such as pH, Sodium, Potassium, iron, Ammonia, Nitrite are above the permissible limits in the study area and chloride contend in Vallanadu was above their acceptable limits. The fecal coliform exceeds the normal limit implies the water cannot be used for drinking or house hold usage.
