Studies on Physicochemical Parameters to Assess the Water Quality of River GAGAN for Drinking Purpose

Abstract

Present paper deals with the assessment of water quality of Gagan river in summer season between two year time duration. In Gagan river water quality is adversely effected by improper sewage and effluent discharge from small and large scale discharges, human activities and so on .The result obtained from different parameters studied are pH (6.05-7.83), BOD (18.2-44.15), COD (45-69.55), Alkalinity (263-573), Turbidity (90-200) etc. Each of which is greater or lesser in amount.
