Abstract:
Physico-chemical parameters of river water Brahmani, at Samal, Anugul, Odisha were determined to reveal the aptness of water for drinking purpose or domestic applications. The physico-chemical aspect such as Colour, Odour, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and chloride (Cl-) values were investigated. Then, the Water Quality Index (WQI) was evaluated. Analysis of various parameters inferred that the water quality index of the river Brahmani is unfit for drinking.
Keywords: Water quality index, Dissolve oxygen, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids
