VICTOR BABU 1 Professor Department of Civil Engineering BABA Institute of Technology and Sciences Bakkannapalem, Visakhapatnam, India G. ASHENAFI TOLESSA Lecturer Department of Agricultural Engineering Adama Science and Technology University Adama, Ethiopia Abstract: Groundwater contamination due to sea water intrusion is a well known problem in Madhurawada panchayat( group of villages). This study attempt to give answers the hydrogeochemistry nature of groundwater chemical parameters in Madhurawada Panchayat. In the study we apply existing field bore well and dug well observation which incorporate with laboratory water sample examination according to WHO and BIS standards and of course indirect questioning with the villager. The result has shown the contamination level of EC, TDS, TH, Ca+, Na, Cl-, F-, and Fe in the Paradesipalem, Boravanipalem, KommadiJn, Marikavalasa, Thotlakonda, Jodugullapalem and Boddapalem in both bore well and dug wells above the limit of permissible limit for drinking limit. Calcium and magnesium are the dominant cations present in groundwater next to sodium and chloride in this region. Therefore, requisition should be taking at the time of groundwater usage. Key words: hydrogeochemistry, Groundwater samples, groundwater chemistry, water quality standards, water quality parameters
