Abstract

The pollutant samples ere collected from the drains of 11 stations each at the banks of River Cauvery and Kalingarayan canal to analyse physico-chemical characteristics. The data clearly revealed the pollution pattern and magnitude of pollutant load in the study area. The quality of pollutants and possible suggestions to minimize the pollution hazards have been discussed.

Keywords

Abstract

Ground water is being polluted due to sustained habitat practices including industrial activities and urbanization. The catastrophic sources of pollution decline the quality standards of both surface and ground waters. These destructive sources have been mapped with IRSP6MX image (NRSA courtesy) along with its attributes, thereof to serve as a comprehensive quality manual under GIS environment for the study area, a part of the Cauvery river basin.
