Assessment of water quality changes and HFE-D studies in Thamirabarani River, Thoothukudi district, Southern India
International Journal of Energy and Water Resources - Trang 1-20 - 2023
Tóm tắt
In research, the surface water quality of the Thamirabarani River in Thoothukudi was assessed. The sediments of this Thamirabarani River basin contain river alluvium, coastal terraces, and quartzite meta-sedimentary layers. The geographic information system study may decide on the spatial map analysis based on the quality of the water samples, which are classified as low, medium, or high, indicating that the water from the study is suitable for drinking and agricultural use. In the hydrochemical examination of water samples, the WHO 2017 standard as well as the geochemical parameters pH, EC, TDS, and other geochemical parameters were employed. According to the identification of this zone, the compounds found in this area were classified as Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+, and the anions as Cl−–HCO3−–SO42−. In general, river water is pure and has low salinity and alkalinity levels. Water used for irrigation and agriculture in the study area has levels of chloride and bicarbonate. The presence of Ca2+–Cl−–SO42−, Ca2+–Mg2+–Cl−–SO42−, Na+–Cl–SO42−, and Na+–Cl−–HCO3−–SO42− in river water indicates that quartzite, gneissic, and charnockite interact with other rocks and with water. The hydrochemical facies evolution diagram (HFE-D) can be used to determine the amount of fresh and salty water in river water. This study will provide an ecological basis for protecting and preserving the local river environment in the Thamirabarani River Basin in a way that is both sustainable for drinking and agricultural purposes.
