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.
目前的数据集表明，基于各种水质指标来评估印度泰米尔纳德邦萨拉班加河流域季风前和季风后季节地下水用于饮用和灌溉的适宜性。在研究区域的不同地点共采集了50个地下水样本。水质指数（WQI）是一个表示水用于饮用目的适宜性的数字。钠吸附比（SAR）、渗透率指数（PI）、残留碳酸钠（RSC）、钠百分比（%Na）、凯利比率（KR）和镁危害（MH）是阐述地下水用于农业适宜性的指标值。两个季节地下水的WQI值表明，该地区有74.5平方公里和37.24平方公里的区域不适合家庭用途。基于灌溉指标，几乎所有样本地点都适合灌溉。该数据集展示了水质指标将如何应用于政策制定者，以管理、处理并总体上可持续改善社会。
