The study was conducted to find out the monthly, seasonal, annual Groundwater level analysis, Land use classification. The Findings are described below:Agriculture is the main occupation of this taluk. Agricultural operations depend upon the groundwater. The highest water level fluctuations are useful for agricultural activities. The 9 wells are suited for cultivated by rainfed crops especially groundnut, cotton, millets and pulses etc.,Agricultural activities are functioning many villages namely Athankaraipatti, Athipatti, Kalappanpatti, Kuthuvarpatti, Kudipatti, Kudiseri, Kuppalanatham, Mallapuram, Palayur, Poppinaickanpatti, Perikattalai, Perungamanallur, Saptur, Sedapatti, Seelanaickanpatti, Soolapuram, Tadayampatti, Uthapuram, Veppampatti, Elumalai, Chinnamuthulingapuram, Chinnapoolampatti, Sittulotti, Ganjampatti, Kadaneri, Karaikeni, Kavundampatti, Lakshmipuram, Modagam, M.sengulam, Nallamaram, P.Ammapatti, Pappaiahpuram, P.Muthunagaiahpuram, Subbulapuram, Puliyampatti, Pukattai, Rangapalayam, Rowthanpatti, Salichanadai, Sandaiyur, S.Arasapatti, Silamalaipatti, Silampatti, S.Keelapatti, S Malapatti, S.Paraipatti, Thumanaickanpatti, T.Kunnathur, vaiyur, Velambur, Kallupatti. Because the Subbulapuram, Karaikeni, Athipatti, thirumanickam, Ulaipatti, Chinnakattalai village wells are mostly used for this agricultural purposes. And the highest level of groundwater spread in this villages. The farmers are tempted to tap ground water to the maximum possible by availing the government policy of free electricity for all agricultural activities.And the waste land spread in Adikaraipatti, Chinnakattalai, Melathirumanickam, Muthunagayapuram, Poosalapuram, Semparanai, Thirumanickam, Thullukuttinaickanur, Vandapuli, Vandari. Because, medium level of groundwater fluctuation spread in this villages. The villages people carried out by the industrial work. Handloom weaving activities are carried in Periyampatti, E.Kottaipatti, P.Thottiyapatti, V.Kuchanpatti and T.Kunnathur Villages. This centres are Selected as a key center for collecting handloom statistics, by the commissioner department of Economics and Statistics. One match box industry and one solar power plant also functioning in this taluk. Which is generates 1 MW electricity is situated at Vannankulam village.Sedapatti block is surrounded by reserved forest and small hills namely Saptur reserved forest. It is part of the Western Ghats. The very low level ground water flowing in this area. There is no major irrigation Reservoir or canal in this taluk. And the tanks and groundwater tabs are mostly used for the agricultural purposes.The settlements are mostly found in the agricultural lands and nearby the water bodies.The area may develop in agricultural use. If the water bodies may be maintained through the schemes, the irrigation pattern will be developed. To rise in the humidity, the forest should be maintained. Afforestation may be taken place in the waste land; which leads to the rises the amount of rainfall. The encroachment on the water bodies by the real estate or property promoters may be banned.The investigator, after considering the changes that has occurred on the land use and land cover pattern of peraiyur taluk wishes to suggest that an intensive survey in this regard can be carried over at micro level i.e. village level especially on agricultural land use and land under water bodies.
