Abstract:
This study was aimed to estimate current status of physico-chemical
characteristic of Uma river, Neri, District Chandrapur, Maharashtra (M.S.) Six
monthly changes in Physico- Chemical parameters such as water temperature,
pH, turbidity, transparency, total dissolved Solids, total hardness, chlorides,
phosphate, nitrates, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen Demand were
analyzed and compared with the standard values prescribed by ICMR, WHO and
APHA. For a period from July 2013 to December 2013. The results indicated that
physico-chemical parameters of the water were within the permissible limits and
can be used for domestic, irrigation. The present investigation revealed that the
quality of water of a source varies from season to season and some of the water
samples are unfit for drinking and utility purpose.
