The rapid industrial growth, population and development of human society has polluted the environmental ecosystem selfishness is the chief cause depletion as the resources. The poor availability of water in nature and increasing population, industrialization, deforestation and other activities have not only decreased the per capita availability of water but also deteriorate the quality of water. Because of urbanization, the quality of water has changed in its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The chemical quality of water is an important factor which determines the usefulness of water both for drinking and Industrial purpose. Concentration of chemicals, beyond certain limits in water brings cause for the toxics impact on the environment. The high concentration of chemicals in water in the industrial towns is mainly due to the customs and practices. In this study, water samples, taken from various parts of Cuddalore block near Port-town were analyzed for their physical and chemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Na, K ,Ca, Mg, Cl, HCO3, SO4, F. The Analyzed results were compared with BIS standards. Based on the BIS parameter, if the results of the water samples fall within the permissible limits, they are considered potable water, and if the results show above the permissible limits, they are not potable water. Hence a comprehensive study on water quality aspect on an industrially developed Cuddalore Old town has become on in evitable one.
