Abstract- An attempt has been made to develop water quality index (WQI), using Five water quality parameters pH,
Nitrates, Chloride, electrical conductivity and fluoride measured at 137 different locations in the study area rating scale is
developed based on FAO standards. It was found that 133 samples have the water quality index less than 150 and 4
samples have water quality index between 150-300. By spatial variation of WQI it can be found that 97.08 percent of the
water in the area is excellently suitable for irrigation.

Keywords: Chloride, Electrical Conductivity, Fluoride, Irrigation, pH, WQI.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Cauvery river enters Tamil Nadu at Hognekal of
Dharmapuri district from the west and takes a southern
course from Mettur and again takes south-eastern course at
Erode and then flows to Bay of Bengal flowing through
Trichirapalli, Thanjavur and Cuddalore districts. The
study area forms part of Cauvery basin, which lies on left
banks of Cauvery river. Lakshmantirtha river is a major
tributary to river Cauvery and has its originates in
Brahmagiri Devasi Hills of Western Ghats in southern
Kodagu district and flows through a distance of about 130
km. It enters the Mysore district near Chikkahejjur, south
west of Konana Hosahalli in Hunsur taluk and flows
through Hangodu, Hunsur and Kattemalavadi before its
confluence with Cauvery on the right side at Sagarkatte in
Krishnarajanagar taluk.
The study area geographically lies between 750 29’ 19” E
and 760 37’ 40” E longitude and 110 55’ 54” N and
130 23’ 12.8” N latitude, as shown in Fig 1, and it covers
an area of 10874.65 Sq km. The maximum length and
width of the study area is approximately equal to 143.73
km and 96.75 km respectively. The maximum and
minimum elevation of the basin is 1867 m and 714 m
above MSL, respectively. The study area covers five
district of Karnataka state i.e., Chikmangalur, Hassan,
Kodagu, Mandya and Mysore as shown in Fig 2. There
are 137 sample location named as S1, S2 upto S137 as
shown in Table 3 the water parameters such as pH , EC,
Cl, NO3 and F are considered for estimation of irrigation
water quality index.

Water Quality Index allows for a general analysis of water

quality on many levels that affect a stream’s ability to host
life and whether the overall quality of water bodies poses a
potential threat to various uses of water. Relevant studies
on water quality index (WQI) and its modeling were
reviewed. WQI is valuable and unique rating to depict the
overall water quality status in a single term that is helpful
for the selection of appropriate treatment technique to
meet the concerned issues. .Water quality indices are tools
to determine conditions of water quality. Creating the WQI
involves three main steps (1) obtain measurements on
individual water quality indicators (2) transform
measurements into ‘‘subindex’’ values to represent them
on a common scale (3) aggregate the individual subindex
values into an overall WQI value.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
Nitrate In the present study the water quality parameters considered
150 shows that almost 95 percent are with in the FAO standards
for irrigation. 133 samples of 137 shows class I index
100 Excellent suitable for irrigation 4 samples shows class II
index . By spatial variation of WQI it can be found that
50 almost all the portion of the water is suitable for irrigation
0 with 97 percent of the area is excellently suitable.
