EVALUATION OF POTABILITY OF GROUNDWATER: A CASE STUDY FOR SELECTED REGIONS OF TIRUPPUR CITY, INDIAKarthick J., Arutchelvan V., Abdul Aleem M.I. and Karupanasamy V.Abstract The objective of the study is to detect any probable sources of contamination and to evaluate the palatability of subsurface water in Tiruppur city. An experimental investigation has been conducted to review the physio-chemical properties of 48 collected water samples from various sources. A spatial map of contaminated places has also been created using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology using the findings of a water quality analysis. The GIS-based mapping helped to categorize the contaminated areas and provide a better understanding of the spatial distribution of pollutants. The studyâs conclusions aided local government and business in determining the best course of action to take to avoid and control groundwater contamination. The findings of the study can also be used as a foundation for the creation of future remediation plans to regulate the quality of the subsurface water in this region. Overall, this case study improved our knowledge of the groundwater quality in Tiruppur industrial zones and provided insightful information for the sustainable management of subsurface water resources. |
