Comparative Study on the Water Quality Parameters in Two Rural and Urban Rivers Emphasizing on the Pollution Level (original) (raw)
Water of Buriganga River, beside Dhaka and of a rural river Panguchi was studied and compared for pollution by determining various water quality parameters for one year. The river Buriganga is subjected to severe pollution whereas Panguchi is considered a less polluted river. The pH range is 6.69 to 8.14 for the river Buriganga and 6.90 to 8.80 for the river Panguchi. The organic pollution in river Buriganga is much more severe as indicated by DO (4.22 to 6.84) and BOD (0.97 to 3.12) than river Panguchi as the values are 7.16 to 8.66 and 5.43 to 5.73 respectively. The overall study shows that the degree of river pollution is quite alarming for the urban population.
