Abstract

The main objective of this present paper is to analyze nineteen physico, chemical and biological parameters for twenty five different ground water samples in Palk Strait sea shore area during three seasons like pre monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon. The obtained water quality parameters were used to evaluate the correlation coefficients between various water quality parameters. The regression analysis showed significant linear relationships among different pairs of water quality parameters. A multivariate analysis such as principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out by SPSS software. Results showed that EC, TDS, Total Hardness, Total alkalinity, Chloride, Magnesium and BOD were significantly damaged the ground water system at Palk Strait sea shore area.
