Scope of work
Background & Issue Identification
Local villagers reported deteriorating well water quality, suspecting contamination from a nearby fertilizer plant. IITM and Stratus were engaged to assess potential pollutant migration and its impact on groundwater.
Investigation & Sampling
Stratus installed wells in multiple water bearing zones to evaluate contaminant plume migration vertically and laterally, Stratus collaborated with IIT Madras, collecting water samples from both village wells and the fertilizer plant site. Monitoring wells were installed in fractured bedrock to track vertical and lateral movement of VOCs in groundwater.
Findings & Compliance Reporting
The study findings were compiled into a detailed hydrogeological report, submitted to regulatory authorities for further action. Recommendations included enhanced effluent treatment and groundwater protection measures.
