Cauvery Water Turns Green in Erode District Due to Suspected Industrial Pollution
In Erode district, the Cauvery river water has turned green in areas including Ammapettai, Nerinjipettai, and Kuthiraikalmedu. Residents and farmers suspect industrial effluents discharged upstream are contaminating the river. The Cauvery flows 84 km through Erode after being released from Mettur Dam, sustaining millions but now facing pollution from industrial and domestic sewage, affecting its usability for locals.
