Abstract
The effluent discharge into river Noyyal river basin was around 75,000 m3 to 1,00,000 m3 per day and it contains both natural and synthetic dyes, along with more than 150 chemicals, such as common salt, detergent, caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide are used to colour the textiles and the toxic wastes are contaminated the water bodies in and around the Tirupur cities and affected soil, water, air ecosystem. The possibilities of ground water contamination mainly due to the period of non-flow of the river and it shows the deteriorated quality of surface and ground water to arrest these type of contamination by the effective approach for cleaning up contaminated surface water as well as ground water through physical, chemical and biological treatment process and strongly adhere the pollution act and environmental legislations.
