Geochemistry of Different Aquatic Systems in Thiruvananthapuram, Southern Kerala

摘要

Aquatic systems of Thiruvananthapuram receiving waste water from various anthropogenic activities. The study reveals that the chemical and heavy metal concentration of almost all station selected from the present study area was high. The present investigation mainly concentrates on the physical and chemical properties of the sediments like pH, Conductivity, Organic carbon, nutrients and heavy metals. Moreover other anthropogenic activities affect the soil texture of these aquatic systems.
