What is Dataset on the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes in the Sarabanga River region, Tamil Nadu, India about?

The present datasets reveal that to assess the suitability of groundwater quality for drinking and irrigation uses in both Pre and Post Monsoon Season in Sarabanga River region, Tamilnadu, India based on various water quality indices. A total of 50 groundwater samples were collected in different location in a research area. Water Quality Index (WQI) is a number which indicates the suitability of water for drinking purpose. Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), Permeability Index (PI), Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), Percentage Sodium (%Na), Kelly Ratio (KR) and Magnesium Hazards (MH) are index value which elaborates the fitness of groundwater for agriculture uses. The WQI value for groundwater in both seasons reveals that 74.5 sq.km and 37.24 sq.km of the area were unfit for domestic purposes. Based on irrigation indices, almost all sample locations are suitable for irrigation purposes. The dataset demonstrates how water quality indices would be applied to policymakers to manage, handle and sustainably improve society at large.
