Background: Water is the most common yet the most precious resource on earth without which there would be no life on earth. About 1.2 million people in the world still today do not have accessible to safe drinking water. In India only 84% of population has accessible to safe drinking water. Objective: To assess the Physical, Chemical, and Microbiological quality of drinking water in the villages of Kanchipuram district. Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was carried out in Chunampet, a rural area in Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu in January 2014 among two villages (Villipakkam and Puthirankottai) near Chunampet. Drinking water was collected from the common water sources of both the villages and sent for Physical, Chemical and Microbiological analysis. Results: Out of 20 water samples for physical and chemical assessment all the water samples shows the physical parameters of the water such as PH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS) were within the normal limits. In chemical analysis Water samples shows that Mg, HCO3 levels were above the permissible limits as per BIS guidelines. Ten water samples were taken for biological analysis in which all the samples were heavily contaminated with high coliform count. Conclusions: The study shows that the water samples collected from both the villages are not at acceptable leveland it is not suitable for drinking.
