Abstract: Monthly variation in physico-chemical characteristics of water samples were studied in Muthupet estuary, Thiruvarur District, Tamil Nadu, India, for a period of twelve months (July 2012 to June 2013). By using standard methods ten different physico-chemical parameters were analyzed. Water temperature varied from 24.1 to 33.5ºC, Salinity varied from 9.03 to 31.42 ppt, pH ranged from 7.0 to 8.1. Dissolved Oxygen content varied from 3.5 to 6. 79 ml/L. Potassium was varied in between 3.86 to 7.01 m-1, nitrate (1.16 to 4.37 mg/L), phosphate (0.48 to 1.97) and silicate (38.66 to 94.35 mg/L) were also studied.
