Abstract |
One of the most important cries of the 21st century is the scarcity of drinking water. World’s most of the freshwater bodies are becoming increasingly polluted, thus decreasing the portability of water. A systematic study has been carried out to explore the water quality index of Bhima River in Jewargi thaluka. Water samples were collected from the river at a stretch of 8mts at an interval of one meter using grab sampling methods and analysed for pH, total hardness, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, chloride and DO. The result obtained from this study indicates that the quality of water is good according to water quality index and hence it is safe for drinking purpose. |
