| Summary, etc | The article attempts to investigate the impact of Madurai’s urban expansion on the River Vaigai at the<br/>confluence of six channels draining into the river from the urban watershed and at the causeways.<br/>Impervious surface cover (ISC) has impacted the river. Water samples were collected during 2017 in 15<br/>stations in the urban stretch and two stations in the peri-urban stretch. Physical characteristics, namely,<br/>temperature, colour, odour and taste, and the intensity of chemical parameters, namely, pH, calcium,<br/>nitrates, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH) and carbon dioxide demand (COD), were<br/>estimated. These estimations show that anomalous concentrations of physiochemical parameters in the<br/>river are much higher than the permissible standards prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).<br/>The causeway recorded greater variations in TDS levels between the upstream and downstream zone.<br/>The study identifies two realities: first, variance in the intensity of physiochemical properties in the urban<br/>and peri-urban stretch and second, the impact of causeways on the flow characteristics of the river. |
