Description 259-262
The extent of pollution over the coastal waters of Madras due to sewage inflow through the river Cooum was studied. Analyses were carried out at both low and high tides. Monitoring of estuarine and seawater opposite the mouth of the river at short intervals indicated a recovery in water quality with time from low to high tide and the effect appeared to be localized. Laboratory studies revealed that drastic reduction in faecal coliforms was aided by the native flora.
