Abstract: Ground water contamination has become a serious problem due to rapid growth of population, industrialization and high rate of Urbanization. Untreated or partially treated industrial effluents discharged in to water bodies or ponds and sludge heaps causes severe ground water pollution in industrial belts. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to study the extent of ground water pollution in an area of 500 m around the Eloor-Edayar Industrial belt. Results revealed that the ground water near to the Industrial zone is already polluted and possible remedial measures are suggested.
