ABSTRACT
The Noyyal River, a vital water source in India, faces contamination challenges affecting its suitability for irrigation. This study explores the potential of phytoremediation, specifically using Aloe Vera plants, to purify the river water. Aloe Vera is known for its ability to absorb pollutants and improve water quality. Through a series of laboratory experiments and field observations, the efficiency of Aloe Vera in removing contaminants from Noyyal River water was assessed. Preliminary findings indicate promising results, suggesting that Aloe Vera could be a sustainable and cost-effective solution for enhancing the river's water quality and making it suitable for irrigation. Further research and implementation of phytoremediation strategies using Aloe Vera could play a significant role in restoring and maintaining the ecological balance of the Noyyal River ecosystem.
Keywords: Noyyal River, phytoremediation, Aloe Vera, water quality improvement.
