Abstract

Water is a scarce and valuable resource for the survival of mankind. Man-made activities change the morphology of the areas the river regimes causing problems of water pollution. Fast industrialization for sustainable development is causing major concern to the pollution of surface water because most of the industries are disposing off their waste directly to the nearby stream without making any treatment and violating the provisions for standard laid out for the same. Through the bodies like state pollution control board try to tackle the problem of pollution but the net result indicate that the pollution is increasing due to enormous population growth as such the available water in various surface sources must be preserved. The Khan River is of E Quality River from origin to confluence. Major part of the untreated domestic waste of Indore city flows into Khan River. The River water, at downstream, used for growing vegetables by the Farmers, posses the risk of contaminating food chain. Khan River becomes dry before confluence into Kshipra. But during monsoon season its water reaches up to Kshipra and affects the quality of Kshipra river water in Ujjain city. The present study was done in the as per the grab sample theory at mid stream of river. After collecting the required samples from desired sites, the samples were brought to laboratory within three hours and analysed as per I.S. 3025 .On the following day we, all the experiment part was done. pH, EC,TDS, turbidity, DO, BOD, COD, TA, TH, Ca H, Mg H, Na, K, Cl, F, NO, SO2-, PO3-4, SAR, % Na and boron parameters were determined for the testing of water quality. The temperature, colour and þH were observed at the site itself.
