Groundwater has become an essential resource over the past few decades due to the increase in its usage for drinking, irrigation and industrial uses etc. The quality of groundwater is equally important as that of quantity. Rising population density will continue to have an impact on the quality and quantity of local water resources. Urbanisation reduces infiltration rate of groundwater and increased runoff.
The scope of the study is how ground water quality, quantity and livelihood of the people are change due to urbanisation. Urbanisation affects land, groundwater and peoples livelihood. The over extraction of water and improper drainage leads to depletion of water resources, deterioration of water quality and loss of livelihood of the people
To delineate the land use changes for different periods using satellite imagery. To study the impact of urbanisation on ground water quality and quantity. To assess the environmental changes which affects the livelihood of people through questionnaire survey.
Jaiswal et. al, (1999) detected the change in land use mid-western part of Gohparu Block, Shahdol district, Madhya Pradesh.
From visual analysis of satellite imagery and reconnaissance survey, major vegetation types and land cover classes were mapped. Analysed post-classification comparison techniques
Hameed et. al, (2010) has assessed Evaluating Raw and Treated Water Quality of Tigris River within Baghdad by Index Analysis.
The study monitored the groundwater quality. In this paper, the data considered from 2002 to 2008. Raw and treated water samples were collected and analysed for pH, Turbidity, TH, Ca, Mg, Cl, SO4, Iron Alkalinity, Dissolved solids, Ammonia, Fluoride and Aluminium. Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated to find the suitability of water for drinking purpose. The WQI was calculated based on the Weightage factor and quality rating.

Lenters (2001) studied the Long term Trends in the Seasonal Cycle of each of the Great Lakes, water levels from 1860 -1998.
The study focused on the observations of L (monthly changes in water level) and addressed how the monthly changes in the Great Lakes water level varied over the period since 1860. The monthly changes were calculated as the difference of the monthly mean lake level of the current month and that of the following month. The monthly changes in water level L were calculated for all the months from the year 1860 -1998 and plotted against time

Mandere et. al, (2010) assess the livelihood change and household income in Nyahururu, Kenya.
Assess the impact of the peri-urban development dynamics to household income. Identify and measures of household land use changes leading to declining significance of agriculture, adoption of new non-farm activities, and improvement livelihood and income They conducted the household survey and focus group discussion with all communities. From the result, they see that there more than 10% of households connected in high income productivity.

Sources of drinking water In 2002, 76% of the respondents were used well water for drinking purpose and it is reduced to 4% in 2010. Because of the groundwater quality deterioration. 18% of the peoples are spend more than Rs 200/month for using portable water.
Sources of Drinking Water Amounts spend for Drinking Water
46
From the questionnaire survey, the groundwater quality data were collected on five different categories namely Excellent, Good, Moderate, Poor and Very Poor. The data were analysed in GIS software at specially for all the observation well during 2002, 2005 and 2010. Before 2005, mostly the well water was excellent and good. After 2005, the quality of the water gets too deteriorated.
47
Well 3 (Indragandhi street, Well 4 (Rangasamy street), Well 6(Government well), Well 8 (Mahatma Gandhi street), Well 10 (Kupusamy street), and Well 11 (Sadagopan street) water quality was Excellent. 48 Remaining well water quality was good.
Well 3 (Indragandhi street, Well 4 (Rangasamy street), Well 5 (Kalaimagal nagar), Well 6(Government well), Well 8 (Mahatma Gandhi street) and Well 10 (Kupusamy street) water quality was Good. 49 Well 7 (Muthamil nagar) water quality was Poor.
Well 6 (Government well), Well 10 (Kupusamy street), and Well 11 (Sadagopan street) water quality was good. Well 1 (Renganathan street), Well 2 (Near Okkium Maduvu) and Well 7 50 (Muthamil nagar) water quality was very poor.
The reason for the quality deterioration was extraction of more water, lack of improper drainage system and natural geology.
51
In 2002, 42% of the people had own agricultural land, and 34% of the people were agricultural labourers. Now no agricultural practices.
52
69% of people have sanitation facility. Major problems faced by the people due to water stagnation such as health disease. 64% of people have health impact (cold, fever, allergy, psoriasis etc.,) due to groundwater quality degradation.
53
Out this 64%, 54% of residents are affected by cold, 33% of residents were affected by fever and 13% of residents were affected by skin disease such as allergy, psoriaris etc.,
54
Positive impacts of livelihood Negative impact of livelihood The landless agricultural labourerDue to urbanisation agricultural lands was dependent on agriculture. Now they shiftedturned into industries and fallow land. The to other jobs in the industries, constructionlandless agricultural labourers dependent works etc. only agriculture. 66% of people got the income 5000-Some people manage and settle other 10000(House keeping, constructionjobs. 13% of the people were unemployed labourer, Bottle company, Lathe works andwith comparatively lower living standard. catering). Petty shops and Hotels was developed. Groundwater quality and level also varied due to over extraction and improper drainage.
People has a sense of awareness towardsHigh pollution. education, due to IT companies. Awareness for saving groundwater, andHealth problem. improve the livelihood.
55
As of now (2010) agricultural land was no move in Karapakkam village. Due to urbanisation the land value has increased. The demand for land has increased and all the agricultural lands are converted into urban development. Some lands were converted to fallow land due to shortage of irrigation water source. Younger generation is not interested in doing agriculture.
56
Earlier the village had appreciable groundwater potential and the quality of groundwater was good for domestic purposes. Water resources are declining day by day in terms of water level and also deteriorating in quality. In earlier, Okkium Maduvu and Renganathan street well was used drinking purpose. Now it was unfit for drinking purposes, where the water quality index was found to be more than 100. The reasons attributed for the quality deterioration were over extraction and lack of improper drainage system.
57
Due to the groundwater quality deterioration, 51% of people are using portable water for drinking purpose and 18% of people spend more than 200 rupees per month for buying portable water. Due to urbanisation economic status of the village people has to be changed. 21% of the people earned high income due to IT companies, petty shops and hotels. 13% of the people livelihood was affected by urbanisation and no agricultural activities. The monthly income they earn is below Rs.5000.
58
Urbanisation is a major challenge for water resources. Planned urbanisation gives positive impacts, but unplanned urbanisation creates more problems and complicates the situation, which in fact give more negative impacts. Awareness must be created among the people about the urbanisation, over extraction of water and sanitation to conserve the water resources. It is learned that most of people doesnt have enough knowledge about septic tank, disposal of sewage in water bodies and their advantages. The people depends on agricultural labour are asking for some other water source to encourage agriculture, but it seems to be impractical for the present scenario.
