Erode known as the “yellow city” is filled with naturally diverse regions such as hills, plains, rivers, forests and evergreen fields. Blessed with abundant water. The three major rivers of Erode are the Cauvery, Bhavani and Noyyal rivers. The agricultural activity in the district is well supported by the rivers Cauvery and Bhavani. 

The city of Erode has a thriving economy with turmeric production, textile industries, specializing in handloom and knitwear. Unfortunately, textile dyeing, bleaching, and other manufacturing processes generate massive quantities of toxic effluents, which are often dumped directly into these rivers. The Noyyal River has become a dark spot due to excessive industrial pollution from textile units in Erode, Tirupur and Karur districts.

E.F.I., in collaboration with the Erode District Administration, has taken on multiple water bodies and working towards their restoration and conservation.

E.F.I. thanks the Erode District Aministration
for its administrative support in restoring these water bodies.
