Abstract |
|
To assess the trends of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of Neera river water, the samples were collected from various sampling stations in the year 2017 & 2018. Standard research technique was used to examine the quality of water samples and its suitability for drinking purpose. Results of this study showed that, at the end of winter and at initial stage of summer the concentration of BOD is higher. These results are above the permissible limit given by WHO and BIS. As per the guidelines given by WHO and BIS, at some of the sampling stations river water is not suitable for aquatic life and human activities. It may be due to agricultural pollution and mixing of domestic waste along with industrial effluents in to the water body. |
