摘要:The aim of this study is to assess the quality of surface water of Yamuna River. Water samples were collected from Yamuna River along different points and analyzed for various physicochemical parameters during winter and summer seasons. Effects of industrial wastes, municipality sewage and agricultural runoff on the river water were investigated. The study was conducted between the Kailash Mandir and Taj Mahal area. This area is most polluted due to the presence of many chemical fertilizers, iron, leather and other industries. All these industries discharge their untreated toxic waste water directly into the river Yamuna. Various physical and chemical parameters like DO, BOD, COD, pH, total suspended solid, total dissolved solids, Alkalinity, Turbidity, Hardness, Chloride contents, sodium, calcium, Electric Conductivity are determined for different samples and compared with the standard limits recommended by WHO. The analytical results showed that during winter season, the quality of water is more suitable for domestic purposes
