The study is carried out to understand the ground water quality in the stone quarry area. The various parameters studied are pH, Temperature, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids, Total hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Alkalinity, Chlorides, Fluorides, Sulphates, Phosphates and Nitrates. The present study aims to understand physico-chemical characteristics of ground water in the stone quarry area and its public utilization.
