Abstract
Current study deals with monthly assessment of physio-chemical parameters of river water samples of Nag-Ghat Paithan spot during year 2019. Water resources have countless significance for the survival of human beings. Therefore, there is necessity to assess the quality of water timely for its sustainable use. The present study intended to monitor of water quality Nag-Ghat Paithan River by assessing the physico-chemical parameters. The standard methods were used to record the parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, hardness and TDS. The temperature ranges between 16 0C to 28 0C. During the study the pH was observed between 7.3 to 8.4. The dissolved oxygen was varying between 3.1 mg/l to 5.2 mg/l. The range of alkalinity was forming 174 mg/l to 192 mg/l. The hardness ranges in between 158 mg/l to 184 mg/l. The TDS ranging from 172 mg/l to 340 mg/l. From the results it was found that the most of the parameters of Nag-Ghat Paithan River water are within the permissible limit of ICMR and WHO. The variation in the physicochemical parameters was observed at the same spot during the year. The present study uncovers there is need to aware people visiting Nag-Ghat for not contaminating the water.
