Physico-Chemical analysis of water of Narmada River at Chandan Ghat Dindori district (M.P.)

Abstract

Water is the basic necessity for a living being and detritions in the quality of water led to many harmful impacts. Water is regarded as ‘polluted’ when it is changed in its quality or compositions, directly or indirectly as a result of human activities, so that it becomes less suitable for drinking, as well as domestic and other purposes. Pollution of fresh water results largely from the waste disposal. Most of the rivers have become darkened with sewage, chemicals and other undesirable foreign extraneous matter. Moreover, the rivers carry and deposit their pollutants in to the ocean. Hence, the oceans are also polluted by toxic wastes which cause contamination of sea-foods on a large-scale. The present study has been made to analyze the physicochemical parameters of the Chandan ghat, Narmada River. Samples were collected season wise from sampling site for analyzing the various physicochemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, TDS, Conductivity, DO, free CO2, Sulphate, Phosphate, Nitrate, BOD, COD. The work highlights the condition of this river water in various seasons with respect to the parameters mentioned above.
