Abstract : The problems of groundwater, soil quality arise with changing land use patterns and thickly industrialized
expanding with industrialization along with residential and other built-up areas, which affect the ground water resources and
quality. The present study is aimed to evaluate industrial impacts on the soil and water quality. Soil, water samples are
collected from the study area and analyzed for physic-chemical parameters for the generation of attributes. The spatial and
attribute database thus generated are integrated and spatial maps of selected soil and water quality parameters showing
variation of degree of contamination with respect to distance from the industry are prepared using ArcGIS software. Soil
Quality Index (SQI) and Water Quality Index (WQI) are calculated to assess the suitability of soil for irrigation purpose,
water for drinking purpose. Analysis of the soil, water samples show that the water is unsuitable for irrigation and drinking
purpose also affecting the ground water quality of nearby areas of industry. The results show that the polluted water affects
the soil parameters too. The results of soil and water samples are integrated with GIS which provide real time spatial
information to the decision makers and end users.
Keywords— Industrial impact, Soil Quality Index, Spatial distribution, Remote Sensing and GIS.
