In the present study an attempt has been made to understand the hydro-chemical characteristics of groundwater in the area and its suitability for irrigation use. Groundwater chemistry in the study area is dominated by Ca followed by Mg>Na>K. The order of abundance in anionic chemistry is HCO3>Cl>SO4.The integration of SAR and EC, and, integration of Na % and TDS shows that groundwater in the study area is suitable for irrigation. In some locations, MAR content in groundwater is more than 50%, which may affect the crop yield. Permeability index in three locations in pre-monsoon season were found as unsuitable for irrigation purposes.
