Assessment of industrial discharge on water quality of Yamuna River at Kalpi region, Jalaun, (U.P.) with special reference to fish
Author(s): Manoj Kumar and AK Srivastava
Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of small scale industrial effluent especially paper mills effluents on river Yamuna at Kalpi region, Jalaun, U.P. The industrial effluent discharged in the river caused a significant alteration in pollution indicating parameters of river water. The physico-chemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, DO, FCO2, Alkalinity, Hardness, TDS, BOD, COD, Chloride, Nitrate and Sulphate as well as heavy metals of river water showed seasonal variations. Most of the parameters of the Yamuna River at Kalpi are within the permissible limit and suitable for the growth and development of fishes but some pollution indicating parameters especially TDS, BOD and COD were found much higher than the tolerance limit recommended by WHO. pH shows that Yamuna River water is alkaline in nature. The heavy metals also shows seasonal variations but these were present within the permissible limits.
