ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY OF CHAMBAL RIVER BYBENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATE, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIAChandra Mohan Thakur, Alok Saxena, Nisha Upadhyay, Prem Kumar Shrivastava, SandhyaMokhale, Subhajeet Aich Roy, Saket Mishra and Poonam DubeyAbstract Biological monitoring includes the identification of different macro invertebrate species collected at thesampling sites and further calculation of saprobic score and diversity score to determine the water quality.Water quality of River Chambal was assessed by identifying the inhabitat benthic macro invertebrates.About 36 numbers of families of macro zoo benthos invertebrates were identified during the study periodfrom April 2019 to March 2021 at 12 monitoring sites (from Origin Point of Chambal River at Janapav toTaal, Ratlam). On the basis of diversity score at most of the sampling locations quality of Chambal riverwater was classified under class B to C. However, at one locations it was under class A. |
