Abstract

The present investigation was aimed to study the effect of industrial and domestic sewage on the water quality parameters of Ennore estuary and coastal water of Ennore. The concentrations of the water quality parameters like temperature, pH, salinity, total hardness, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate etc., were above the coastal water level due to the continuous discharge of domestic sewage and industrial effluent. Higher nutrient levels estimated from the Ennore estuary may be attributed due to the domestic sewage and industrial effluent discharged from the nearby human settlements and industrial establishments.
