Abstract

Water is essential for life. When, the available surface water resource does not fully meet the demand, people opt for groundwater extraction. Chennai is one such place, where the present day need is partly met by subsurface water. The quality of groundwater is as important as its quantity. In this study quality assessment of available groundwater of shallow depth has been carried out using various chemical parameters and with the help of Geographical Information System (GIS).
