Due to industrialization the purity of water is critically affected. To estimate the water quality parameters of eight places at the SIDCO Industrial Estate near at the South of the Chennai City of the state of Tamil Nadu is undertaken in the present study. The standard methods of sampling and estimation are done for the ground water samples. The quality of water shows high values of total hardness and total dissolved solids.
