Brahmani River, Physico-Chemical Parameters, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)Abstract
This research analyzes the Brahmani River water quality in terms of the important physicochemical parameters. The river is exposed to huge industrial effluents and impacted by extensive agricultural and human practices. To assess the effect of these activities, water samples were gathered from nine points over the river basin between August 2014 and September 2015, with sampling done on the first working day of every month. Parameters like pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Conductivity were examined. It is found from the results that the water quality of the river remains within acceptable ranges. The physicochemical parameters play a significant role in evaluating the overall water quality of the river. The research highlights the need for constant monitoring to make the river a sustainable resource for both ecological and human purposes.
