A Study of the Physico-chemical Analysis of Ground Water and Surface Water due to the Impact of Dyeing Industry Effluents in and around Nallur
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 8, No 1 (2019) pp. 89-92
Abstract
In this investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the impact of dyeing industry effluents and sewage water in Noyyal River in and around Nallur at Tiruppur, Tamilnadu, India. In the study area, it has been observed that the people utilized the surface water and groundwater on the banks of the river for domestic and agriculture purposes. There were 2000 residents living on the river bank at Nallur and the Noyyal River was receiving the dyeing industry effluents and sewage from the houses, affecting the surface water badly. During the rainy session, the surging rainwater was mixing with the effluents and reached the river and the groundwater. Hence the groundwater on both sides of the river was polluted by the percolation of the effluent. Water quality analysis of surface water, water in bore wells and open wells has revealed that the water cannot be used for domestic and agricultural purposes. Once an aquifer is polluted by percolation of contaminated water, it is very difficult for reclamation. It has been observed that TDS, hardness and high concentration of chloride has made the water saline and that the dye content was very high, compared to BIS Standards; the groundwater had a high concentration of Ca, Mg, Na and phosphate.
