Groundwater Pollution and Human Health Risks in an Industrialized Region of Southern India: Impacts of the COVID-19 Lockdown and the Monsoon Seasonal Cycles

D. Karunanidhi et al.

Summary: Groundwater samples collected from 30 locations in the Coimbatore region of southern India showed a reduction in fluoride and nitrate pollution levels due to a decrease in industrial and agricultural activities during the COVID-19 lockdown, as well as dilution effects from seasonal rainfall. The chemical facies of groundwater shifted from Na-HCO3-Cl and Na-Cl to the Ca-HCO3 type, indicating the influence of factors such as mineral weathering, carbonate dissolution, and anthropogenic inputs on groundwater chemistry in the region. Overall, the findings suggest positive benefits to groundwater quality resulting from measures to control anthropogenic inputs of pollutants.

Cleaning the river Damodar (India): impact of COVID-19 lockdown on water quality and future rejuvenation strategies

Baisakhi Chakraborty et al.

Summary: The study found that the water quality of the river Damodar was highly polluted before lockdown, but around 90.90% of samples showed improvement to good quality during the lockdown period. The implementation of the Water Pollution Index (WPI) showed significant differences in water quality parameters between the two periods, indicating a statistical improvement in river water quality. The spatial mapping using Arc GIS 10.4 interpolation (IDW) helped in understanding the spatial intensity of pollution load in the two periods.
