Abstract: Groundwater is a supreme substance for all living things. The taste of groundwater varies depending on factors such as minerals and rocks surrounding it. Because of dissolved impurities such as bacteria, salts, metals, and gases, natural water seems to have become polluted. Hydrochemistry analysis of the groundwater helps to determine the type of groundwater and its source. For the present study, the groundwater samples have been collected from five bore wells around the industrial zone of the Cuddalore district. The groundwater samples were tested utilizing physical and chemical methods. The results were compared with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The piper plot was used to define the geochemical characteristics of groundwater, and it revealed that the study samples are sodium chloride and mixed calcium, magnesium, chloride. Gibb's plot identifies the source of groundwater and demonstrates that it might be caused by rock domination, evaporation and diffusion of seawater. This study could assist people in effectively understanding the factors that influence groundwater quality.

Key words: Groundwater, Physico-chemical property, Piper plot, Gibb’s diagram and Saltwater.
