摘要:River Kshipra is receiving a large volume of untreated sewage daily in its stretch of Ujjain city and the statusof water is pathetic during low flow season. A stream water quality model QUAL-2Kw was used in thepresent study to simulate the contributions from different sources and sinks of dissolved oxygen and tounderstand the interactions among them. The model was calibrated and validated and the simulated resultsare in general agreement with measured water quality in River Kshipra. It was established through this studythat the QUAL-2Kw model can be used for future river water quality management options for River Kshiprawith reasonable accuracy.
