WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT USING PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF KANKE DAM RANCHI, JHARKHAND (original) (raw)

The study was aimed to assess the water quality of kanke dam, Ranchi. Seasonal variations in physico-chemical characteristics such as temperature, pH, turbidity, Total dissolved solids, total hardness, dissolved Oxygen, BOD, COD, chloride, nitrate, sulphate and phosphate etc were analysed for a period of one year. The results indicated that most of the physico-chemical components found within acceptable limit whereas the value of some components found beyond the permissible limit, which causes unsuitability of water for the use of various purposes.
