Abstract

Kuwano river is one of the important rivers flowing through the Basti District, (U.P.), India. Recently, district witnessed rapid urbanization and industrialization, in catchment of river, leading to pressure on surface water quality. The present study aimed to find out the effect of seasonal changes on physico-chemical characteristics of river Kuwano water. The seventeen parameters i.e., pH, TDS, EC, DO, BOD, COD, Total Hardness, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate total, Ca, Mg, Fe, E. Coli, Fecal Coliform and Total Coliform, were included in the study. The higher microbial presence in river water is a health concern. The study reveals that river water quality affected seasonally and is only suitable for bathing and irrigation purpose.
