The present study is carried out in the Puri district, Odisha, India to ascertain the suitability of groundwater for irrigation purposes. The parameters used to ascertain the suitability of groundwater for irrigation purposes are synthesized. The physico chemical observations used for the purpose were ; pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, calcium, magnesium, potassium, carbonate, bicarbonate and the irrigation indexing parameters calculated were, sodium adsorption ratio, residual sodium carbonate, magnesium adsorption ratio, permeability ratio and Kelly's ratio.The parametric values obtained from present study shows margins of concentration ranges lies within the permissible limit which shows that as a whole ground water of the district is suitable for irrigation purposes. In most of the places the residual sodium carbonate, permeability index, Kelly ratio, magnesium absorption ratio exceeded or remain below its permissible limit. So the non-tolerant crops susceptible for less yield to high sodium content can be avoided in the area. Suitable recommended use of chemicals such as lime, sulphuric acid may be added to soil with pre crop irrigation for leaching.
