Ground water, Magnesite, Spatial distribution DiagramAbstract
Salem is known for the basic refractory industry in Tamil Nadu. It generally contributes to the economic development but at the same time destroys the natural environment.Magnesite is mined from three large mines in Salem. The mine site of Magnesite covers considerable area and the low grade Magnesite ores are dumped around the mines. The overdumping of magnesite could result in environmental pollutionand cause lowering of water level and deterioration in surface and ground water quality.The study is conducted in and around the magnesite mines to identify the concentration of the different contaminants in the groundwater. Analyses were conducted to determine the hydrochemical characteristics of 50 ground water samples around magnesite mines featuring the deposits of sodium, calcium, magnesium, fluoride, chloride and nitrate. The spatial distribution of groundwater is also presented
