Physico Chemical Properties Of Water Of Narmada River At Madhya Pradesh, India
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Narmada, also called Rewa is a river in central India and the fifth largest river in the Indian subcontinent. The bank of Narmada river is covered by tribal people and their daily wastes are drained into this holy river, which alters the Physico-chemical parameters of the river. Limnological study was carried out for the period one year from October to September to enumerate the various physico-chemical parameters of Narmada River. Water samples were collected from sampling stations every month and were analyzed as per standard methods. Minimum value of Temperature, pH and DO were recorded in January and February month and maximum value in June-July months. The results of present study indicate that physico- chemical parameters of Narmada River are within WHO limits.
