Water Quality Assessment of Tamsa(Tons) River Flowing through District Satna M.P.

River is a natural source of water for house use, agriculture use, as well as industrial use. Generally river water is fresh and safe for use. Water is a very good solvent and it can dissolve so many substances either they are organic or inorganic in nature. Quality of water is decided on the basis of its dissolved and suspended substances which are either useful or harmful for the growth of living organisms. Our work was aimed to know the physical and chemical water qualities of Tamsa (Tons) River flowing through Satna district of Madhya Pradesh, India. Quality of River water depends on pollution level in areas from where the river is flowing. Some water quality parameters such as Alkalinity, Total Hardness, pH, Total Solids, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Chlorides, Fluorides, Sulphate, Phosphate, Calcium Hardness, etc are checked at various points. If limits of these water quality parameter are not as per the W.H.O. guidelines then it will be harmful for users.
