Description
Summary:Mangalore coast is present at the western part of the Western Ghats of the Indian peninsula located at 12 degree 49'N and stretched to about 22 kms. This region is meant for many useful and convenient sources for the development of the country's economy. Because of its scenic beauty, it attracts huge crowd of tourists across the globe. Along with the tourism, this coastal region also receives pollution load from the various industries located nearby. The preliminary study carried out at the coastal region of Mangalore by considering six randomly selected study sites, located at points where river water enters the sea. Various parameters of water analysis in these study sites have revealed differences from one site to the other. The mean values of the estimated characteristics were represented graphically. These values prompt to carry out further research to substantiate using statistical methods.
