The water must be safe and pure must be without contaminants due to urbanization and industrialization. The present study evaluated the physical and chemical parameters of the water taken from four sampling sites located at the industrial city known as Maraimalai Nagar Town near Chennai city. More than 150 industries are located in the site. The standard methods are use for evaluation of the parameters and the water samples are found to have more concentrations of iron and alkalinity in the area. Hence, suitable water treatment is required to make it drinkable. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
