Abstract
Abstract: In the recent years, settlement along the coastal stretch of Puducherry region are quiet in an alarming state which has degraded the entire coastal and the marine environment due to enormous anthropogenic activities carried out by the settlements for their livelihood beneficiaries .One of the major problem identified along the coastal areas of the Puducherry region at macro level are seawater intrusion at major settlement zones were erroneous pumping of ground water were done to meet out the demands of the settlements, which in turn has led to serious contamination by dissolved salts mixing into the available fresh water resources such as coastal aquifers which further demands sophisticated treatment processes. The aim of the present study is to analyze the collected water samples with respect to the seasonal variations from various identified aquifers of different geological formation and for its geo-hydro-chemistry and physico-chemical parameters by acceptable procedures. From the results obtained, it was found that, dominant major and minor ions were present in the majority of aquifers in and around the Puducherry region. The presences of ions in the aquifers of Pondicherry coastal region are been represented in an ascending order such as: Na>Ca>Mg>K and HCO3>CL>SO4. Moreover, the characteristic Fluoride (F), Nitrate .
