Samples of well waters in the area around a paper mill industry situated at Udumalpet, Tamil Nadu were collected and analysed for physicochemical characteristics to assess the water quality during the period of six months of pre-monsoon season (June-November 2008). The data show that the quality of groundwater is grossly polluted and not suitable for drinking and irrigation purposes due to presence of high solids and electrical conductivity.
