Determination of WQI of River Yamuna Between Mathura and Agra Region
Department of Chemistry, CMJ university, Shillong, Meghalaya India
The present study was intended to calculate Water Quality Index (WQI) of five sample stations of river Yamuna from upstream of Mathura and downstream of Agra over a period of about one year from April 2002 to Jan 2003.
WQI, indicating the water quality in terms of index number, offers a useful representation of overall quality of water for public or for any intended use as well as in the pollution abatement programmes and in water quality management. A number of parameters affect the usability of water for a particular purpose. In this study water quality index (WQI) was determined on the basis of four physico-chemical parameters viz. pH, D.O., B.O.D and chloride.
On the basis of observations and results the water quality index value of upstream of Mathura and Agra has been found to be superior to other selected point but not suitable for drinking purpose.
