“…With regards to water quality in this study, bicarbonate (or alkalinity) and specific conductance responded most consistently to urban intensity. Furthermore, these two constituents are relatively easy to measure in the field and are recognized as important in monitoring water quality (Cordy, 2001).…”

health may occur between low and moderate levels of urban intensity. Additionally, many of the responses showed that at urban index values greater than 35, there was a threshold effect where the response variable no longer changed with respect to urban intensity. Recognizing and understanding this type of response is important in management and monitoring programs that rely on decisive interpretations of variable responses. Any biological, physical, or chemical variable that is used to characterize stream health over a gradient of disturbance would not be a reliable indicator when a level of disturbance is reached where the variable does not respond in a predictable manner.

“…Depending on the intended purpose of the water, water quality is a measure of its fitness for use, taking into consideration a number of physical, chemical, and biological factors (Cordy, 2015;Taylor, 1981). Water quality can change negatively as a result of ecological interactions (Bordalo et al, 2001;Diersing, 2009).…”

One of the most important elements of economic growth and sustainable development in ecological balance is water. However, today, water, unlike the important natural resources of all periods, is in a state of international crisis; population is increasing on the other hand, water resources are decreasing and our planet is experiencing an increasingly dry period. People have already begun to feel the concern that they will not find water in the future and to take their precautions. In addition to the ever-increasing need for water in our country, the control and prevention of groundwater pollution are also gaining importance. In this study, samples taken from well waters consumed as drinking, irrigation and utility water in Bozova basin were analyzed according to the criteria specified in the Regulation on Water Intended for Human Consumption. It is aimed to establish a model for the groundwater quality of the site and to identify areas with high water quality. Water samples from 16 separate wells were obtained for this, and the results were then assessed using the F-AHP approach, one of the GIS supported MCDM methods. Groundwater quality maps were first classified by raster and then by reclassify in the Arc map environment. Afterwards, a groundwater pollution map was created by weighting the parameters in the F-AHP application. Finally, these parameters were interpreted and suggestions were made.

“…Water quality differ from place to place, with the climate factors, with the environmental variations and types of soil and rocks along which it moves. Water from rain moves through the ground, the water dissolve minerals in rocks and soil, but commonly dissolved substance in water are salts or minerals, are referred as dissolved solids include common constituents and plant constituents (Gail, 2014) [4] . Rivers are precious elements of mother nature.…”

Water is an important natural resource on the surface of earth. Approximately 70% of the water is utilized in the agricultural sectors. Yamuna River having a total drainage area of 366,220 sq Kilometer's is now highly prone to pollution causing a major threat to the water quality. The present investigation was carried at Sam Higginbottom University of agriculture technology and sciences in the department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry lab. In this study, a total of 24 water samples were collected on 01 November 2020 in Chaka block of Prayagraj district and from each village 3 water samples were collected and analyzed for their primary and secondary irrigation water quality parameters by using standard laboratory techniques. Through this, the results stated that pH is in the range of 6.22-7.34 with mean valve 6.74, EC in the range of 0.61-1.13 dS m -1 with mean valve 0.83, and Irrigation water quality index was in the range of 107.6-177.8, where 100% of the water samples are in poor condition. These analyses concluded that still, improvement has to be done to improve irrigation water quality. Keywords: Irrigation water quality, Chaka block, Yamuna and water quality index main source of water come from surface water which is now under environment stress due to development of infrastructures, industrial extant, agricultural activities. Sufficient amount of water quality is necessary to supply water for agricultural land. Water quality differ from place to place, with the climate factors, with the environmental variations and types of soil and rocks along which it moves. Water from rain moves through the ground, the water dissolve minerals in rocks and soil, but commonly dissolved substance in water are salts or minerals, are referred as dissolved solids include common constituents and plant constituents (Gail, 2014) [4] . Rivers are precious elements of mother nature. Rivers play major role in integrating and organizing the landscape (Das, 2018) [6] . Yamuna originates Yamunotri Glacier of Uttar Kashi in Uttar Pradesh. The Yamuna River is one of the important rivers of India. It is the second largest tributary of the river Ganga. It has four main tributaries in the Himalayan region: Rishi Ganga, Hanuman Ganga, Tons and Giri (Upadhyay, 2013). It flows through the states of Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh were merges with the Ganga at Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj district. The total Length around 1,370 kilometers with a total drainage of 366,220 sq kilometers. In the world, Yamuna is the polluted river, where about 22 discharge drains waste water are released in water (Misra, 2010) [10] . Approximately 57 million people are depending on the river for their basic needs. Irrigation is an important use of Yamuna river water. In the entire Yamuna basin about 12.3 million hectares are irrigated lands and approximately 49% of land is irrigated from surface water (CPCB, 2006) [5] . The concentration and composition of soluble salts in water determines Irrigation water quality (Zaman, 2018) [11] . Water quality des...
