- Abstract
The article investigates the influence of dyeing and bleaching industries on ground water of Tirupur, Tamilnadu in India. Industrial activities such as sugar mills, dyeing, bleaching and allied units release effluents that may percolate down to the aquifer and foul it. The objective of this study is to generate baseline data on the extent of ground water pollution in Tirupur and help delineate the area of contamination in predicting the possible risk to the population using ground water for domestic purposes and irrigation.
