Groundwater is a vital resource particularly in hard rock terrains where surface water availability is limited. Effective mapping and delineation of groundwater potential zones is crucial for sustainable management and utilization of this precious resource. This study aims to delineate groundwater potential zones in the hard rock terrain of the Val...

This study investigates the geological and geophysical exploration of quartzite, gneiss, schist, and meta-sedimentary rocks in the Kurumalai region of southern India, providing new insights into the variety of geological area. The Kurumalai hills, located among significant features such as PandraMalai, Manthithoopu, and Oodumalai, reveal a diverse...

The monsoon season of 2021 brought about significant devastation to the landscape of South Tamilnadu, particularly impacting Ayankulam Village. Despite the inundation caused by the overflowing Nambiar canal, an intriguing anomaly emerged as the village well remained inexplicably dry, confounding both the district collector and experts from the Indi...

In research, the surface water quality of the Thamirabarani River in Thoothukudi was assessed. The sediments of this Thamirabarani River basin contain river alluvium, coastal terraces, and quartzite meta-sedimentary layers. The geographic information system study may decide on the spatial map analysis based on the quality of the water samples, whic...

The current study concentrates on heavy mineral separation using the bromoform technique. The main structural element is the distribution of several heavy minerals in coastal areas along a stretch of India's southeast coast in Tamil Nadu. The observed variations in the distribution of heavy minerals in the area are connected to differences in sedim...

Beaches along the coastal town of Thoothukudi, Veerapandiyapattinam, Kallamozhi and Kulasekharapatnam of Tamil Nadu state, India, were identified for conducting field experiments to understand the tide and wave-induced hydraulic dynamics on the beach groundwater. The stress due to the pressure radiation along the floor of the surf zone is dynamic a...

In this study, an effort has been made to locate the subsurface basin for groundwater storage and to identify the suitable destination for the sustainable domestic, agricultural, and drinking needs to demarcate groundwater potential zones (GWPZ) for Srivaikundam region in Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu, India, using remote sensing and geographica...

Ayankulam is the trending one recently during the 2021 monsoon of India. Despite a large supply of water from the Nambiar canal for five days, the village's fabled well was unable to fill. When the district collector and IIT team came, they assessed the community and noted that the wells' geological makeup was classified as a karst formation (as pe...

Ayankulam is the trending one recently during the 2021 monsoon of India. The legendary well in the village failed to fill despite five days of strong water inflow from the Nambiar canal. District collector arrived and inspected with IIT team and surveyed the village stating that the wells nature was geographically termed to be Karst formation (as p...

Abstract - The Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) study is a current trend in which a coastal aquifer meets a fresh water aquifer in the ocean bed. It is a valuable study that uses electrical resistivity and grain size analysis in a megascopic and microscopic investigation to determine the porosity and permeability of subsurface geology and th...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) study is essential for groundwater in coastal terrace at Tiruchendur. The famous Murugan Temple is located in the area and around 25,000 people who visit this temple use the SGD well water at NaaliKinaru (a small open well) as holy water and drink it. The rock and soil type are sandy clay, silt, beach sand, cal...

Abstract The present study is an endeavor to explore Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) and its characteristics in the Punnakayal area. A grainsize, textural distribution study was carried out to investigate the coastal and estuary morphology controlled by sediment movement and deposition of the study area. A total of 24 surface sediment sam...

The focus of this study is the discharge of freshwater from coastal terraces to coastal areas. A large amount of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) flow moves toward the sea. The study to determine the flux rate uses geology, grain size, magneto telluric, resistivity and water geochemistry for quality analysis. The research is on the structure o...

An able-bodied, due to the exposure of the rocks in the northeast part of the boat path, the construction of Thengapattanam port encountered a major problem of dredging. In Thengapattanam, 2D electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) method and geotechnical soil texture investigation was carried out during underwater rock exposure to alleviate the need...
