Dataset on the assessment of water quality of surface water in Kalingarayan Canal for heavy metal pollution, Tamil Nadu

This data article aimed to investigate the quality of surface water in Kalingarayan Canal for heavy metal pollution, Tamil Nadu. Eight heavy metals like Fe, Cu, Mn, Cr, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Ni were analyzed in the water, for a period of three years, spanning the time frame between January 2014 to December 2016. Eight stations were selected along the Kalingarayan Canal, and water samples were collected on a monthly basis from these stations. The pH of the samples was in the alkaline state (6.88-8.90), whereas conductance was in the range of 394-4276 µs/cm. The average concentration of heavy metals in the surface water ranges from 0.040 to 10.75, 0.030 to 0.890, 0.02 to 0.91, 0.00 to 1.96, 0.00 to 0.01, 0.00 to 0.053, 0.01 to 0.12 and 0.110 to 3.40 mg/L for the metals Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb and Cr respectively. The dominance of various heavy metals in the surface water follows the sequence: Fe > Cr > Cu > Zn > Mn > Pb > Ni > Cd respectively. The canal is affected by anthropogenic activities and industrialization in terms of heavy metals.
