Abstract
Water supply gained its significance only during recent years. Every city has the problem of adequate spatial deficiencies and such other logistic problems. The usual problems are aggravated by the peculiar character of Rainfall in India and especially on the case of Tamilnadu. The objective of this study is to study the different sources of existing drinking water supply system in Mayiladuthurai town 2008.To find the growth of drinking of water supply system in Mayiladuthurai town 1989-2008.To examine the efficiency and drinking water supply system with the distribution of population The collected information and data both descriptive and cartographical methods have been used to find out the existing drinking water supply system. Using of GIS, the correlation coefficient techniques, Nearest Neighbor analysis and simple statistics have been used to find the efficiency and sustainability of drinking water supply system, for the study period for Mayiladuthurai town.
