Evaluation of the environmental quality of Parangipettai, Southeast Coast of India, by using multivariate and geospatial tool

Evaluation of Physicochemical Characteristics of Coastal Waters of Nellore, Southeast Coast of India, by a Multivariate Statistical Approach

“…Furthermore, moderate positive loadings of nitrite (0.69), nitrate (0.55), TP (0.58), and silicate (0.73) were recorded in the seawater (Figure 2A). This could be attributed to the existence of anthropogenic activities such as agriculture and aqua farming in the surrounding vicinities (Iscen et al, 2008;Yuvaraj et al, 2018). Factor 2 (VF2) explains 13.68% of the total variance and indicates a strong positive loading of BOD (0.77), while moderate negative loading of transparency (−0.65), moderate positive loading of TSS (0.67), and IP (0.56) were observed.…”

Investigation of Coastal Water Characteristics Along the Southeast Coast of India: A Multivariate Approach

“…Although several studies on water quality have been conducted in other Indian coastal regions (Renjith et al, 2015;Jha et al, 2015;Yuvaraj et al, 2018;Satheeswaran et al, 2019;Ratnam et al, 2022), there is relatively less work carried out on the seawater quality characteristics for such a long coastal stretch in this region. Recently, Barath Kumar et al (2018) have studied seawater characteristics at 8 locations over a 300 km coastal stretch along the Tamil Nadu coast.…”

Coupled hydrodynamic and water quality modeling in the coastal waters off Chennai, East Coast of India

“…Anthropogenic activity is evident around these estuaries and coastal and open ocean environments. Hence, it is important to assess the water quality on a regular basis and provide mitigation measures for coastal pollution (Yuvaraj et al, 2018). Improving water quality and variability in coastal waters is necessary and should be prioritized.…”
