Article Synopsis
- Leaching of chromium ions from chromite ore processing residue (COPR) poses a significant threat to groundwater, necessitating thorough subsurface characterization to assess risks and initiate remediation.
- Conventional methods like drilling and water sampling are costly and less effective in providing detailed subsurface insights, leading to the use of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in this study for a quicker and more economical assessment.
- The study reveals that while contamination from COPR is migrating, the surrounding agricultural land and groundwater in certain directions remain unaffected, providing critical information for safe agricultural practices and future remedial actions.
