ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY IN KARAMADAI AND ANNUR BLOCK OF COIMBATORE DISTRICT, TAMIL NADU, INDIA THANGAMANI. S1*, A. SELVAPERUMAL2 & E. SUJITHA3 1Teaching Assistant (SWCE) Agricultural Engineering College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India 2Teaching Assistant (SWCE) Agricultural Engineering College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India 3Teaching Assistant (SWCE), Institute of agriculture, Kumulur, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT The quality of groundwater has been depleting nowadays due to over exploitation by the increased industrialization, urbanization, agricultural activities, and various human activities and the quality of groundwater gets contaminated severely. According to Central Groundwater Board (CGWB), the groundwater from Coimbatore District has highest salinity level (EC > 3000µS/cm). Hence, current study has been carried out in characterizing the physiochemical nature of groundwater standard in Karamadai and Annur Block of Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India to find out the irrigation water quality. In this study, seven (7) groundwater samples from Karamadai block and six (6) groundwater Original Article samples from Annur block have gathered randomly from bore wells. The samples have been analyzed for pH, EC, TDS, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, K+, carbonates, bicarbonates and total hardness. Sodium adsorption ratio, Residual sodium carbonate and water quality Index were calculated to locate out the groundwater suitability for irrigation. The results revealed that the value of pH differs from 7.6 to 8.6 and EC was 0.73 to 2.27 ds/m. Both highest and lowest EC values were observed in Annur Block. In addition, the EC value from all the samples were far beyond the permissible limit (<1 ds/m). However, Kurubanoor in Karamadi block (0.84 ds/m) and athipalayam in Annur block recorded the lowest EC range (0.73 ds/m) while comparing with others. The high value of EC in irrigation water shows that there are salinity hazards. This leads to the reduction of crop growth and yield. Over all, the groundwater from Mangalakarai of Karamadai block (C3S1) and Athipalayam of Annur (C2S2) block are suitable for irrigation because it matches the optimum parameters required for irrigation. Water Quality Index in Karamadai (35 to 70) confirms that, the groundwater appears to be poor in quality for drinking and it can be used for irrigation and in Annur (162 to 451), it appears to be undesirable in quality and could be utilized for irrigation with correct management practices.

INTRODUCTION Groundwater is utilized gloablly for domestic, industrial, as well as for irrigation. Groundwater accounts for only 29.9 per cent of global fresh water. In the last few decades, there was a drastic growth in the requirement of fresh water because of fast development of population along with the boosted rate of industrialization. Expeditious urbanization, particularly in developing nations like India, These have influenced the accessibility as well as standard of groundwater because of its overexploitation. Over exploitation or excessive pumping leads to lowering the groundwater level in Coimbatore district (Elangovan, 2006). As per Central Groundwater board (2008), the stage groundwater development in Annur and Karamadai block are 160 and 96 % respectively. Standard of www.tjprc.org [email protected] 90 Thangamani. S, A. Selvaperumal & E. Sujitha groundwater is identically essential as its standard due to its appropriate for diverse causes (Kumar et al. 2009, Subramani et al.2005). Therefore, the current research has taken to characterize the groundwater standard in Karamadai as well as Annur Block of Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India to find out the irrigation water standard. Hydro chemical examination was broadly utilized to evaluate the groundwater standard as it gives knowledge of groundwater suitability for various purposes. In general, water for irrigation of agricultural crops can be assessed in terms of salinity and alkalinity (DPI&F notes, 2004). Hence, in the present research, pH, EC, TDS, cations and anions are measured and Sodium Adsorption ratio, Residual Sodium carbonate calculated to ensure the suitability of groundwater for irrigating crops. 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 Description of the Study Area Karamadai and Annur block are situated in Coimbatore district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu (Fig.1). Karamadai block lies between 11º01’05”N and 11º24’06” N latitude and 76º49’ 22” E and 77º06’34”E longitude and Annur block lies between 11º02’10”N and 11º19’49” N latitude and 77º06 43”E and 78º13’ 06” E longitude. The total geographical area of the Annur block is 29059.96 ha and Karamadai block is 35926.39 ha (G-return, 2012-13). The major crops cultivated in Karamadai block are paddy, cereals, pulses, fruit crops and vegetables. In Annur block, maize, cholam (fodder crop), sugar cane, curry leaves and flower crops are mainly cultivated.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 3.1 pH The pH of the groundwater samples collected from 13 places of Karamadai and Annur blocks range from 7.6 to 8.8 that were within the acceptable limits 6.5- 8.5 given by Indian Standards (Fig.5). The high pH level greater than or equal to 8 in Impact Factor (JCC): 8.3083 NAAS Rating: 4.13 Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Karamadai and Annur Block of Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu, India 93 Karamadai, Mangalakarai, Kurumbanoor, Saravanapatti, Kovilpalayam, Kurumbapalayam, Vellamadai indicates that they have concentrations of biocarbonates. One of the major purposes in managing pH was to generate water that reduces corrosion or incrustation. This procedure could lead to substantial harm to the water supply systems, outcome from complicated associations among pH also other parameters, like dissolved solids, dissolved gases, hardness, alkalinity, as well as temperature. 9 pH at Karamadai block 8.8 8.8 pH at Annur block 8.8 8.6 8.5 8.6 8.4 8.4 8.2 8.2 8 8 pH pH 7.8 7.6 7.8 7.6 7.6 7.6 7.6 7.4 7.4 7.2 7.2 7 7 Figure 5: Range of pH from Collected Water Samples 3.2 EC (Electrical Conductivity) Normally, the electrical conductivity is an estimate of the capability of water to pass on electrical current and was also influenced through the existence of dissolved solids. As the amount of whole dissolved solids (TDS) increases, the conductivity also raises. High salinity of irrigation water was accountable for salt accumulation in the root zone and also causes harm to plant cells (Greenway and Munns 1980). It is the major essential parameter that decides the appropriate utilization of water irrigation. The EC of collected samples varies from 0.73 to 2.46 (dS/m). Karamadai (2.46 dS/m ) and Vellanaipatti recorded highest EC (2.27 dS/m) in Karamdai and Annur block (Fig 6).

Lekeshmanaswamy Department of Zoology, Kongunadu Arts and Science College (Autonomous), Coimbatore-641 029, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The present study deals with the diversity of ants in Karamadi region of Coimbatore, india. Ants were collected from different sited of karamadi region with the help of trapping, brush method and hand picking method. Twenty three species were identified among the 4 subfamilies reported were subfamily Formicinae was dominated with 10 species followed by Myrmicinae with 9 species, Dolichoderinae and Pseudomyrmicinae with 2 species each. Ant diversity is less in karmadi region compared with Periyanaickenpalayam region. Keywords: Ants, karamadi, Diversity. Introduction Biodiversity conservation and management are of worldwide concerns. Ant is one of the most diverse and ubiquitous groups of the social insect. Ant belongs to a single large family Formicidae, largest of order Hymenoptera. It is represented by 26 extant subfamilies with 14,711 valid species and 428 valid genera [1]; out of these, 152 species are listed by IUCN and from India, 10 subfamilies are represented by 100 genera with 828 species. In India, Himalaya and the Western Ghats harbor a large number of ant species, 656 species from 88 genera were recorded from Himalaya, and 455 species from 75 genera were recorded from the Western Ghats, especially in Tamil Nadu, 184 species from 51 genera were recorded [2, 3]. They can serve as model organisms for exploring the nature and dynamics of ecological communities due to the ease with which they can be sampled and the potential for experimental manipulation [2, 3].

In the recent past, drilling of the bore-wells increased massively in search of water since most of the open wells dried up in Velliangadu area of Coimbatore district. Open well water used to be the primary source of water for irrigation purpose till last decade but more and more bore wells were drilled in search of water up to 1000 feet underground. Since the drilled bore wells were of a minimum of 300 feet and a maximum of above 1000 feet it was quite interesting to analyze the physicochemical properties of groundwater and help the farmers to gain knowledge on water quality parameters. The quality of groundwater in Velliangadu area was analyzed by determining the pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, Total Dissolved Solids, Chloride content and Electrical Conductivity. Since all the parameters were in good agreement with the standard values given by various organizations it is concluded that the groundwater quality of Velliangadu area is good.

When hunger haunted my home, a lady next door extended a bowl of rice gruel to us and thus saved us from cruel death. Such mtrciful women-folk elected me as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu having great faith in me. 1 felt it lim y bounden duty to provide atleast one meal per day to the poor children in order to eliminate the suffering of their helpless mothers.
