ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY OF GANGA RIVER STRETCH FROM KANPUR TO DEORI GHATAJIT KUMAR VIDYARTHI, FIROZ AHMAD, PRABHAT RANJAN, CHITRANSH DUA AND SUNITI PARASHARAbstract The present study highlights the Impact of point sources pollution load impact on river water quality of Ganga from Bithoor to Deori ghat. Ten samples have been taken along River Ganga covering most of the impact zone throughout the stretch like industrial and domestic sources, drains, tributaries etc. The results show that pH and DO were complying throughout the stretch in terms of bathing standard. BOD was found complying from D/s Kanpur barrage to D/s Shuklaganj and FC was found complying at U/s of Bithoor and U/s Shuklaganj. The correlation plot shows a high positive correlation of BOD with COD; BOD with NH3-N; COD with TSS and turbidity; and TC with FC. The upper part of the stretchshows the impact of tributaries, and lower stretch shows impact of drains. |
