A study of hydrochemical characterization of groundwater and its suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes has been carried out in and around Singanallur, Coimbatore city. sixteen groundwater samples were collected from dug wells and bore wells during Post monsoon season. The collected samples were taken for analysis of various hydro chemical parameters such as pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Bicarbonate, Carbonate, Sulfate and Chloride. Based on the hydro geochemical results to be carried out into graphical representation such as Piper trilinear diagram, USSL salinity diagram, Wilcox diagram and scatter plot. The hydro geochemical results have to be compare with World Health Organization (WHO), and Indian Standard Institution (ISI) drinking water standards suitable for drinking and irrigation purposes. Multivariate statistical analysis such as correlation matrix and Principal component analysis are used to determined groundwater characters. These analysis have become accepted in identifying variations and source of groundwater pollution.
