Gram Panchayat|LGD 227766Water profile
P.K.Hills Keelnadu
Part of Peddanaickenpalayam block, Salem district, in the Tirumanimuttar sub-basin.
Taps are incomplete and the aquifer is already in deficit
83.75 percent of households report a tap connection, and Peddanayakkanpalayam is assessed over exploited at 114.7 percent of extraction. Closing the service gap draws on a source already over-drawn.
1,768 of 2,111 households, across 23 habitations.
Deep Tubewell, Open Well
Peddanayakkanpalayam is assessed over exploited. This describes the taluk, not this Panchayat.
30 rain days between 2026-08-03 and 2026-09-02, modelled rather than gauged.
Safe on 2026-07-02. 129 samples over 4 years, none of them recorded unsafe.

Where the water comes from

Groundwater, projected from the taluk
IN-GRES assesses revenue taluks. This Panchayat inherits its containing taluk's category unchanged, as containing-area context rather than a measurement of the place.
Peddanayakkanpalayam taluk, by centroid in taluk.
Groundwater drawn each year as a share of what recharges, for the whole taluk. Above 100 is more drawn than recharges.
Sub-district on the revenue hierarchy, which the Panchayat hierarchy does not nest inside.
The assessment unit is a revenue taluk, not the Gram Panchayat: each Panchayat inherits its containing taluk's category and stage of extraction unchanged, as containing-area context rather than a measurement of the place. Containment is decided by the TNGIS polygon centroid (vertex fallback for concave polygons); a Panchayat that falls in no taluk or in a taluk without an assessment is deferred, never guessed. 6 TNRD blocks span more than one revenue taluk, so a block-to-taluk name match would have been wrong.
Water-quality testing
129 samples between 2023-01-05 and 2026-07-02. 88 were taken at a source and 41 at households.
None was recorded unsafe. A clean run this long describes the reporting as much as the water, so read it as an absence of recorded failures rather than as evidence of safety.
| Year | Samples |

| 2023 | 39 |
| 2024 | 42 |
| 2025 | 24 |
