There are nearly 500 dying units and 195 bleaching units operating in and around Tirupur. They consume large quantity of water for processing and later discharge waste water.
The effluent from the above Industries affect the surface and underground water and make the water unfit for domestic work. The effluent also increase the pH of the soil and affect the cultivation.
The rivers like Bhavani, Noyal and Cauvery get polluted due to mixing of effluent from the above industries. Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board ( TNPCB ) has directed all textile printers and dyers of Tirpur to not allow the effluent to mix in the river systems.
