Abstract: -
. In
present study water of River Ganga at Mirzapur was studied for pollution by
determining various water quality parameters for all three seasons viz, winter,
summer, and rainy seasons. The River is being polluted by severe domestic and
industrial pollution at Emilia Ghat, Kacheri Ghat, Oliar Ghat, Pakka Ghat, Naar
Ghat and Chaubae Ghat. The pH ranges from 7.3 to 8.0.The organic pollution is
high as indicated by Dissolved oxygen (6.6 to8.5mg/l) and BOD (5.2 to 6.0mg/l).
Heavy metals concentration was found above the permissible limit, As conc. is
maximum at all six sites. To monitor the water quality samples from six sites were
collected monthly. In this paper the results of one year study are presented.
