Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Coimbatore South Taluk, Coimbatore District, India: A WQI Approach
The developmental activities in Coimbatore cause depletion and degradation of groundwater. The present investigation is aimed to calculate Water Quality Index (WQI) of groundwater to assess the impact of pollutants due to mining operations, agriculture and human activities on the water quality. Nine physico-chemical parameters were taken for calculation of WQI. Quality of water was found to be good in all the sampling stations except at Vellalore, Chettipalayam and Natchipalayam.
