    In this work, the assessment of surface and ground water quality of Palladam Taluk, Tiruppur, district, Tamil Nadu, India were carried out using Geographical Information System (GIS) and Modified National Sanitation Foundation -Water Quality Index (MNSF-WQI). Four samples from surface and twenty seven samples from ground water sources were taken from Palladam Taluk, Tiruppur District. In the current study, the surface and ground water samples were analysed for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), biological oxygen demand (BOD), turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), faecal coliforms (FC), total phosphate (TP), total nitrate (TN), chlorides (Cl-), sodium (Na+) and fluoride (F-) ions to investigate the suitability of surface and ground water for drinking and agricultural purposes through Geographic information system (GIS) and modified national sanitation foundation water quality index (MNSF-WQI) technique. The concentrations of TH, TDS, Cl- and Na+ were observed to be above the desirable limit of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). whereas F-, BOD, DO, EC, TP, TN, FC and temperature were within the acceptable limits. The GIS-based WQI map analysis indicated that 45% of the study area having good water quality index and the remaining area showed medium quality water. Dyeing and textile industries in the study area are responsible for deteriorating the quality to medium quality of water which was not appropriate for direct utilization and needed prior treatment. There is no detailed report on assessment of the surface and ground water quality of Palladam Taluk in Tamil Nadu using GIS and MNSF-WQI techniques.

    Lake water quality degradation has been apparent for decades, especially in those lakes situated in the vicinity of cities which have anthropogenic activities. The present investigation was carried out for determining the various physico-chemical and biological characteristics of surface water quality of various lakes at Coimbatore, India. The sampling points were selected on the basis of their importance. Six sampling locations namely at Perur Lake (L1), Selvachinthamani Lake (L2), Ukkadam Lake (L 3 ), Kurichi Lake (L 4 ), Valankulam Lake (L 5 ), and Singanallur Lake (L 6 ) were selected and water samples were collected mostly from open wells in and around Coimbatore district. The physico-chemical parameters like Dissolved oxygen, Faecal coliforms, pH, Electrical conductivity, Biochemical oxygen demand, Chemical oxygen demand, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids, Sulphate, Nitrate, Phosphate, Chlorides and Alkalinity were analyzed. The results suggested that, the lake water samples collected from various sites in and around Coimbatore citywere above the limits of WHO standards.
