Abstract: Vellore District is one of the most polluted in Tamil Nadu, India. The present study deals with the physio - chemical characteristics of ground water quality in Vellore district. Samples were collected from 24 locations within study area during month of May 2015. Sampling is done at each station in polythene bottles of one - liter capacity. The samples were analyzed various water quality parameters such as PH, Electrical conductivity (EC), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium(Ca), Mgnesium(Mg), Sodium (Na), Potassium(K), Bicarbonate (HCO3), Chloride (Cl), Sulphate(SO4), Nitrate (NO3), and Fluoride (F), were determined using standard method. The methods used for estimation of various physio-chemical parameters of water were plotted in GIS (Geographical Information Systems).
