Groundwater is an important source of water for many municipalities, industries and for irrigation, which needs careful and critical assessment of its quality. The groundwater samples collected from Rasipuram Taluk, Which is located in southern part of India, have been used for the trace element analysis. The main reason behind this analysis is based on the fact that, the industrial wastewater contributes to the groundwater pollution. The samples were analyzed for trace elements such as cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) and other associated equipments. It was found that the concentrations of trace elements in groundwater of the study area are well within the prescribed limit
