GIS based modelling of soil contamination - A threat to agriculture by Dindigul tanneries
In developing country like India greater attention has been focused so far only on the ground water pollution. Unlike water the study on the soil contamination has not been much attended yet. In this background, it becomes necessary to study the soil contamination in Dindigul, where the soil is mostly degraded by tannery effluents.

Spatial and seasonal variation of surface water quality in Pillavakkal irrigation system
The surface water quality monitoring in a catchment is one of the most important tools for water management. The western zone of Virudhunagar district in south Tamil Nadu depends upon the surface water from Pillavakkal irrigation system, comprising a number of interconnected surface tanks. The increase in agricultural products and industrial zones in this terrain results in an essential investigation of the surface water quality and soil parameter.
