Abstract
The physico-chemical properties of the groundwater in the Karur district were chosen as the reference site for this investigation. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, chloride, sulfate, nitrate, fluoride, total hardness, total alkalinity, electrical conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were all measured in triplicate in the lab using standard procedures. The management of its water quality may benefit from the findings of the physico-chemical analysis. The majority of the metrics in the water quality analysis were found to be connected with one another using Pearsonâs correlation matrix. It is noted that there is no substantial link between several of the metrics, suggesting that the mild contamination comes from multiple sources. Prior to consumption, the areaâs groundwater requires some kind of treatment, according to the analysis. Since there isnât any published data on these significant villages from the Karur district, the data collected in these villages could serve as a baseline and point of reference when evaluating additional changes brought about by nature or humans.
