“…They developed a Multiple Optimization Problems with Equilibrium Constraints (MOPEC) model for economic aspects. [20] conducted a study on entry of microplastic of less than 5mm in Redhills lake which is one of the major water supply lakes to Chennai city, Tamilnadu, India. The present study was also carried out on one among the lake considered for interlinking.…”

This paper aims at providing a solution for augmenting the runoff water from major lakes of Chennai and Thiruvallur district of Tamilnadu. Hence an attempt was made to save surplus water from Puzhal, Ayanambakkam, Koratur, Ambattur, and Retteri lakes have been proposed. To interlink Puzhal lake with Koratur lake alignment is considered as it passes through the road network, excluding built-up areas. Water quality analysis was also done with a minimum of three samples that were collected from each lake. Samples were tested for pH, Total dissolved solids, Total suspended Solids, and Chemical oxygen demand. The linking of the lakes is proposed based on the water quality assessment of each lake. This study suggests an efficient/optimal route or canal for interlinking lakes in a GIS environment. The elevation differences, slope and dimensions of the canal, and the possible best location to link the lakes/tanks were obtained through the spatial data in the GIS. This helps in an effective and optimized management of the water supply for Chennai city.

Microplastics (MP) in both freshwater and marine ecosystem is the next issue that has been recently the fore. However, freshwaters are the potential source and pathway to transport MPs to the marine environment. There is a lack of understanding about the presence and analysis of MP in the freshwater system in India, one of the leading global plastic producers and consumers responsible for 5.6 million tonnes of waste every year. The present attempt is the first in Ousudu Lake, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, to study the MPs occurrence and examine its properties in the surface water of the largest lake and an important wetland. The concentration range of MP in Ousudu Lake was 0.0039 particles/m2. Fibre was dominant, homogenous with the size fraction of ≤100µm comprised of total MPs collected in Lake. Raman spectroscopy identified plastics with polyethylene as a homogenous component. This study indicated that the presence of MP in water might influence the environment.

“…A number of studies about distribution and quantification of microplastics have been accomplished on several beaches worldwide (Tiwari et al 2019). Likewise, Colombian Caribbean (Barletta et al 2019), Iran (Dehghani et al 2017), Spanish (Masiá et al 2019), and India (Gopinath et al 2020). The transportation and distribution of microplastics on beaches may be affected with different factors such as winds, tides, anthropogenic activities, and water currents (Iwasaki et al 2017).…”

The current work provides the detailed analysis about microplastics contamination of the beach sediments and surface seawater. Sediment samples were collected from the high tidal zone at 13 beaches, and surface seawaters of seven stations along the southern Shandong Peninsula. The presence of microplastics was recorded on both beaches and surface seawater. The mean quantity of microplastics was approximately 664±80 microplastics/kg of dry weight (dw) with 0.5~0.125 mm in beach sediments, and 5.62±0.4 microplastics/liter (L) of surface seawater. Predominant microplastics were fibers (>97%). While other plastic forms had lower percentage. Microplastics possessed different color with polymer composition including polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene. The accumulation of microplastics on beaches is an alarming issue and provides better understanding about microplastics pollution along the coastal regions of the southern Shandong Peninsula. It would also help to establish better monitoring system for future and evaluate possible risks by microplastics due to rapid economic growth of China.
