Investigation of Water Quality Index and Langelier Index for the Ground Water Samples in Thottiyam Taluk of Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu

Abstract

In the present study, the potable nature, corrosive nature and the correlation values for the quality parameters have been evaluated from mathematical calculations for 50 ground water samples. From the calculated values of water quality index and langelier index, about 40 % of the water samples have been found to be good in their quality and 60 % of the samples with mild scaling tendency. The correlation matrix for the different water parameters has also been determined to study the relationship between the parameters.
