Assessment of Groundwater Pollution in Erode City (North), Tamil Nadu, India| Chapter 2 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 1

 Water is a crucial essential for life to exist on the planet. Water has long been a source of life for humans, and all organisms require it to survive. The city of North Erode in TamilNadu is the focus of our investigation. Many dyeing, chemical, and tannery industries surround Erode to the north. These companies damage groundwater sources by releasing their effluents directly into them. Due to waste disposal by tannery enterprises, dyeing units, and paper mills located near the river basin, the groundwater is severely polluted. We did a systematic investigation as part of our research.  The water quality was analyzed using quality criteria such as temperature, pH, EC, chlorides, alkalinity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, and total dissolved solids in 20 ground water samples taken in the eroding zone. COD, DO, and suspended solids The results of a few samples were found to be extremely polluted due to the effects of dyeing businesses, tanneries, and chemical industries. As a result, maintaining the quality of ground water in this area is essential for long-term sustainability.
