Manvir Singh and K.C. Gupta

Abstract

Physico-chemical charctristics of water of river Yamuna were studied from Jaisinghpura to Kachahari Ghat ( a stretch of 6 Kms) at Mathura. the duration of study was from November, 2000 to April, 2001. Three sampling stations were selected for study.The parameters under study were temperature, pH, turbidity, DO, COD, BO D, Total hardness, TDS, Cr, Fe, Cd, Pb, Ni, Mn, Zn and Cu.The concentrations of parameters like turbidity, total hardness, TDS, Cr, Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn were found beyond the tolerance limits.
