Abstract: In recent times there has been significant development activity in terms of industrialization and urbanization in almost all cities in India. Cement dust can spread over large areas through wind and rain and are accumulated in and on soils, plants and have the potential to affect animal and human health adversely. In Coimbatore, ACC is the only company for Cement manufacturing unit. A preliminary study was undertaken to estimate the peak runoff rate and eventually to develop a water conservation plan for ACC limited, Madukkarai cement works in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu. The area selected was Gandhi Nagar which is nearer to the cement factory and GPS coordinates were collected from the rainfall catchment area in the Gandhi Nagar. Rational method was adopted to estimate the runoff that is generated from the catchment.
