A study on the water quality of a pond water in Sirukalathur panchayat, Kundrathur town panchayats, Kanchipuram District To assess the extent of water pollution for the domestic purposes. A pond water in Sirikalathur panchayat is located at 14°16’00”N 70°16’00”E 13°97’00”N 80°37’00”E. The samples of pond water were collected for about Nine Month November 2009 to July 2010. The samples were analysed using standard methods of APHA (1995) and BIS (1991) the results of Physical-Chemical parameters and biological parameters were analyzed. It showed that the samples were highly turbid and the results showed the samples were highly alkaline. Total of 51 species were identified. The characteristic and availability of water had been greatly affected due to population, indiscriminate usage and disposal of water. It is concluded that the Biological and Physical-Chemical parameters were discussed.
