Ravi Kumar Gangwara, Puneet Kh

Abstract

Ramganga is an important river of Bareilly (U.P). Three sampling stations viz., Station A- near Angoori village, Station B-near Ramganga Bridge and Station C-near Choubari village were established for the collection of water samples during july, 2011 to june, 2012. Monitoring of water of River Ramganga includes physico-chemical parameters. The temperature was 20.4°C to 35.9°C, pH of river water ranges from 8.1 to 8.8, Total solids were ranged from 330 mg/l to 396 mg/l, Turbidity ranging between 22 to 72 NTU, Hardness of water was 192 to 219 mg/l, Alkalinity was 96 mg/l to 202 mg/l, organic pollution is mild as indicated by DO ranged from 5.8 mg/l to 6.3 mg/l, BOD was 5.0 mg/l to 5.8 mg/l and COD was 33.5 mg/l to 41 mg/l. In this paper the results of one year study are presented.
