An in-depth study was conducted on the Noyyal, the oldest and most venerated river in south India. The river, which springs in the Western Ghats, has the most diverse ecosystem on Earth before it enters urbanized regions. The effluent from Tiruppur's black-colored textile industry is transported by this river when it merges with the holy Kaveri River. The little hamlet of Tiruppur is known as "Dollar City" because it receives $720 million in foreign exchange each year. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the damage that the effluent did to the biological diversity and ecotone of the river. The 35 km research zone included nine established study sites. We used recognized methodologies to survey the whole research area's flora and fauna and collect the taxonomic data. The analysis revealed the extensive harm done to the flora and wildlife as a result of the unplanned overuse of water supplies. The findings demonstrate the permanent disruption of the biological system and the rise of new species that have supplanted the indigenous species. The irreversible loss of India's extremely significant genetic wealth is apparent if action is not done to stop the river's misuse. Keywords: Climate Change, Global Warming, Urbanization, Tiruppur, Noyyal River, Flora, Fauna |
