A Study of the Ground Water Quality and Discharge of Untreated Textiles in the Dyeing Effluents in and around Chellandipalayam in Karur District

A wide variety of both inorganic and organic pollutants are presented in the effluents from breweries, tanneries, dyeing, textiles, papers and pulp mills, steel industries and mining operations etc. The pollutants are including oils, greases, plastics, plasticizers, metallic wastes, suspended solids, phenols, toxins, acids, salts, dyes, cyanides and DDT etc., Those are not readily susceptible to degradation and thus causes made on serious pollution problems. Sulphuric acid acts an acid waste from the coal mines which is a serious pollutant that increased the hardness of water and made disastrous effect in the living organisms and corrodes concrete Na, Cu, Cr, Hg, Pb etc.,.These are the heavy metal effluents discharged from industries. This attempt has been made to find out in the impact of dyeing effluent on ground water at a particular area and also to know about the quality of dyeing effluents after the treatment of using RO plant. The effect of effluent from Dyeing industry at Chellandipalayam in Karur where discharging through the drain into the water resources. The ground water is highly polluted. During the rainy season the rain water collected in the water resources which are the main sources of ground water to the wells, bore wells located around the district of Karur. In the rainy season, the rain water mixed with Dyeing effluent, sewage into the ground water and reached the wells and bore wells. In turning of the quality of water is easily affected through this way. It makes the water hard with high TDS and unfit for drinking, domestic and agricultural uses. An analysis has been carried on the toxic heavy metals present in the dyeing Industry effluent and the ground water of quality parameters in the water resources in and around the dyeing units at Chellandipalayam. The quality of effluent water used to after the treatment of using RO Plant. A suitable remedial measure for the treatment of polluted ground water using reverse osmosis technology has been proposed.
