An Integrated Water Quality Assessment Of Parbati River Sehore, M.P India Using WQI, ASPT And Correlation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to clarify and evaluate the water quality and macroinvertebrate density and diversity of Parbati river Sehore, M.P India.The present study successfully utilized the benthic macroinvertebrates diversity as well as physiochemical parameters of river water. Based on Average Score per Taxon (ASPT) and the (WQI) values, urban sites of the river Parbati were categorized as polluted with Chironomus sp., Limmodrilus hoffmeisteri, Tubifex tubifex and Tubifex albicola as codominant taxa and Rural sites of the River exhibited doubtful (ASPT) or good quality(WQI) containing Odonata and Ephemeroptera families as codominant taxa. Our results further demonstrated that the biotic indice (ASPT) were more sensitive towards organic pollution than the WQI. However, the sites p-1, p-2 and p-5 fall in good category as per WQI but biotic index confirm that these sites are fair instead of good due to limitation of Ephemeroptera only at the reference site and absence of Plecoptera and Trichoptera at all the sites. Macroinvertebrates such as Odonata, Diptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, and Planorbidae (Mollusca) decreased with relative nutrient load
