In order to understand the stream dynamics in different landuse, a morphometric analysis was carried to evaluate the physical characteristics of the study area. Water quality monitoring was carried out to understand the physico-chemical parameters in the study area. The examination of the physico-chemical parameters reveals that most of the water quality parameters are below the permissible limit of WHO standards for drinking and irrigational purposes.

Produktbeschreibung
In order to understand the stream dynamics in different landuse, a morphometric analysis was carried to evaluate the physical characteristics of the study area. Water quality monitoring was carried out to understand the physico-chemical parameters in the study area. The examination of the physico-chemical parameters reveals that most of the water quality parameters are below the permissible limit of WHO standards for drinking and irrigational purposes. Understanding the relationships between land use characteristics and river water chemistry provides a base for determining how future changes in land use and climate will influence river water quality and functioning. Therefore, it is important to determine the processes that regulate river water chemistry in landscapes under increasing pressure from human population, whether from urbanization or more intensive food production. The results of river water chemistry reveals that the turbidity and high concentration of nitrogen compounds in the river water is probably due to confluence of leached organic matter from the vicinity of agricultural lands and turbulence of water in the upstream areas.
Autorenporträt
Dr. N.S. Magesh¿s research interests include the study of climate change and its impact on landuse and water resources. His research involves coupling the climate models with high resolution field data to explore the physical, chemical, and ecological processes in Tamiraparani river basin, South India.
