More than 95% of rural population depends on ground water for all needs. The present study was carried out on Groundwater quality Assessment of Kanchipuram district in Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 43 ground water samples were collected in the study area. The groundwater quality assessment has been carried out for pH, EC, TH, TDS, Ca, Mg, Na, K, HCO3, Cl, SO4, NO3, and F. The spatial variations of physio- chemical properties of water were plotted using GIS (Geographical Information Systems). The quality of water is evaluated using Piper and Wilcox Diagram. The results will give the clear cut information about the Groundwater Quality of the study area.
