| Abstract |
The River Adyar flows through the fault of south Chennai for about 50 Km and enters into the Bay of Bengal. This river is almost stagnant and do not carry enough water except during rainy season. Rapid industrialization and urbanization along the river course during 80s and 90s of last century has increased the pollution of the river water. The main objective of this study is to identify and assess the nature of pollution. In order to achieve this objective, necessary geochemical parameters were determined and the quality of water is evaluated using various tools, such as Wilcox diagram, USIS, Piper, sodium absorption ratio (SAR), 3D scattered diagrams, and seasonal variation diagrams. The monsoonal variations in the data matrix of the river water (River Adyar) was monitored at 33 stations for the premonsoon and postmonsoon periods during September 2005 and February 2006. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 May 2019.
All research outputs
#8,022,830
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
#816
of 4,112 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,327
of 92,496 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
#3
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,112 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 92,496 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
