It is further noticed that, in comparison to Valiyathodu sub-watershed ie, 33.33%, Peruvanthanam
sub-watershed has maximum ‘excellent’ category ie, 47.06% during monsoon, ‘excellent’ ie,
23.52%, ‘good’ ie, 29.41% and ‘fair’ ie, 47.06% during pre monsoon, ‘good’ ie, 35.29% and ‘fair’
ie, 17.65%, during monsoon and ‘excellent’ ie, 17.65% ‘good’ ie, 23.53% and ‘fair’ ie, 58.82%
during post monsoon season. Valiyathodu sub-watershed has ‘excellent’ ie, 26.67%, ‘good’ ie,
33.33% and ‘fair’ ie, 40.00% during pre monsoon. It shows constant value of 40.00% for good
category during monsoon and post monsoon seasons. WQI values shows that, during monsoon
and post monsoon seasons 6.67% and 33.33% belongs to fair category. Marginal category for
monsoon and post monsoon season is 20.00% and 26.67% respectively. From these observations
it can be concluded that the monsoon recharge plays an important role in keeping the quality
of water in good condition in both Peruvanthanam and Valiyathodu sub-watersheds. Hence it is
explicit that, in general water quality is good in Peruvanthanam sub-watershed, compared to
Valiyathodu sub-watershed.
