N., India ABSTRACT Nat. Env. & Poll. Tech. Website: www.neptjournal.com Groundwater is a significant source of water in many parts of India, especially in semiarid and arid regions. Received: 10-6-2013 About 50% of the total irrigated area is dependent on groundwater. Groundwater is the major source of Accepted: 13-8-2013 drinking water in both urban and rural areas. Also, it is an important source of water for the agricultural and the industrial sectors. Groundwater quality is as important as the quantity. Poor quality of water adversely Key Words: affects the plant growth and human health. Hence, the demarcation of groundwater quality is of vital importance Groundwater to augment groundwater resources. The present study attempts to prepare the spatial variation map of the Spatial variation various groundwater quality parameters for Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu using Geographical Information Water quality System (GIS). GIS has been applied to visualize the spatial distribution of groundwater quality in the study Geographical information area. The major water quality parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium, system (GIS) magnesium, fluoride, chloride and sulphates etc. were analysed. The final integrated map shows three Dindigul district priority classes such as high, moderate and poor groundwater quality zones of the study area and provides a guideline for the suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes.

Abstract--Theni districts could be considered one of the highest grapes producing area also export best quality of Paneer dhrakshai Indian table grapes in Tamil Nadu. The research work focused to identify the nutritive compounds in the grapes (Vitis vinifera) species which are a wonderful fruit having pulp content, vibrant color and exert an immense health benefits.
