The study area is located at Ramaiyanpatti on the Northwestern side of Tirunelveli city (Fig. 1). Tirunelveli is the sixth largest city in the state of Tamilnadu, with an area of 108.65 sq. km and a population of 475,000 (according to Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 24, No. 6 (2015), [2761][2762][2763][2764][2765][2766] AbstractThis paper presents a survey of resistivity and groundwater quality around the solid waste dumpsite of Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation at Ramaiyanpatti in the state of Tamilnadu, India. Water samples were collected and analysed for physico-chemical parameters in the study area. Electrical resistivity surveys were carried out in the study area. The physico-chemical analysis of groundwater as well as geophysical investigation revealed that there are considerable impacts of solid waste dumpsite leachate in the groundwater aquifer. To minimize the impact of such leachate of a dumpsite on groundwater quality and the environment in general, it is necessary to properly design, construct, and manage the dumpsite by engineering principles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
