Abstract |
|
Rivers are getting contaminated due to waste disposal from with the rapid development in the field of agriculture, urbanization and industrial development. The river water contamination with domestic and municipal sewage disposal, leaching of fertilizers, agricultural runoff and industrial effluents is becoming a common phenomenon. A laboratory study was conducted to watch the physicochemical characteristics of water samples of Kham River for a period of ten months during July 2010 to April 2012.The analysis was done for the parameters like Temperature, pH, Electrical conductivity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chlorides and total alkalinity. The observed values of varied physicochemical parameters of water samples were compared with standard values. This research work shows that the water quality of Kham River is deteriorated possibly due to the increased human activities and improper release of industrial effluents. |
