“…Lower values of sulfate (7.0-16.5 mg/l) were obtained while assessing the water quality parameters of Markanda river, India [18]. However comparatively higher values of SO4 2-(97.75-114.0 mg/l) were observed for Yamuna river at Yamunanagar region of Haryana, India and were found below the prescribe limits of BIS [25]. Statistical analysis for SO4 2-is presented in Table III.…”

The present study uses several univariate and multivariate statistical techniques to evaluate and interpret a water quality data set obtained from the Markanda River within the states of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana, India. Data was collected from September-November 2015 for eight parameters which are used to evaluate the status of the river water quality, namely pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chloride, sulfate, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand. Water quality was monitored at 8 sampling locations along the stretch of river Markanda. All the datas were first analysed using univariate statistical tools, followed by principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis that reduced the data dimensions for better interpretation. This study also presents the usefulness of different statistical methods for evaluation and interpretation of river water quality data for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of water resource management. Higher values of EC and BOD indicate that river water is not safe for drinking purpose as prescribed by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

“…The groundwater quality studies reveals that water is suitable for drinking, agricultural and industrial purposes if certain water quality/computed parameters found within the desired limits. Many studies on quality of ground and surface water sources on [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. Although many studies have been conducted on suitability of groundwater for domestic needs, however, no extensive study has been done on suitability of water for irrigation purposes with respect to residual sodium carbonate (RSC) in Solan district of the hilly state Himachal Pradesh.…”

To assess the seasonal variation of quality of groundwater of two adjoining towns of the hill state, Himachal Pradesh in the north of India, a study has been carried out. The specific study zone covering an area of about 120 sq. km. was selected near the industrial townships of Nalagarh and Baddi in district Solan. A total of 25 and 40 groundwater samples were collected, from 65 different locations during post-monsoon season of 2011 and pre and post-monsoon seasons of 2012. The overall residual sodium carbonate (RSC) of groundwater was ranged from -7.794 to 1.673 and -7.857 to 1.953 at Nalagarh and Baddi industrial areas respectively. The overall averaged residual sodium carbonate value at Nalagarh and Baddi industrial areas were less than 1.25, hence suitable for agriculture purposes. The findings also suggest that values of residual sodium carbonate of groundwater were far below the recommended standard value. Therefore it is suggested that regular attention should be given to the agricultural authorities, policy and decision makers to both the areas for better agriculture production. However, proper treatment of effluents from urban and industrial areas is highly desirable to maintain the residual sodium carbonate of groundwater in such areas to check further deterioration.

INTRODUCTIONIn general water quality refers to the degree of suitability for a specific purpose and is largely depends on the physico-chemical characteristics/composition of its water [1]. Irrigation water contains certain quantities of dissolved salts originating from different sources i.e. either geogenic or anthropogenic. The suitability of water for irrigation purposes should therefore be assessed on the basis of its ability to create favourable conditions for crop growth or yield. However, the suitability of irrigation water has to be assessed on the basis of specific conditions like different agro-climatic conditions, types of crops (sensitive, semi-tolerant, tolerant), its varieties and cultural practices. There are some attempts have been made to classify/measure the quality of water for irrigation purpose [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. Several measurements/guidelines are also developed and used to classify the suitability of water for irrigation, including sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), percent sodium (%Na), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), magnesium hazard (Mg haz.), Kelly's ratio (KR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), base exchange (base exch.), meteoric genesis (met. gen.) etc. Due to differences in climatic as well as topographic conditions in different areas, one can consider the above computed parameters for evaluating irrigation water quality. The concentration of bicarbonate and carbonate influences the suitability of water for irrigation purpose. One of the empirical approach was based on the assumption that calcium and magnesium precipitate as carbonate. Considering the above hypothesis the concept of residual sodium carbonate (RSC) wa...

“…All living things on our planet need water for their survival and development 1 . Water has ability to dissolve organic as well as inorganic compounds in it; hence water is called as universal solvent [3][4] . Water is used for various purposes like drinking, irrigation, transportation, washing, mass bathing and waste disposal for industries 5 .…”

The present work deals with the study of Chloride concentration of Nira River in the year 2016. Fresh water is essential to existence of life. Acceptable quality water is essential not only for drinking and domestic purposes but also for agriculture, industrial and commercial uses. Chloride occurs naturally in all types of water. In natural fresh water, the concentration is quite low. The important source of chloride in the water is the discharge of domestic sewage. Chlorides are highly soluble in water so they do not get precipitate and cannot be removed by biological treatment of water. If the amount of chloride is beyond the permissible limit then it can corrode by extracting calcium in the form of calcide. Here in the present work the amount of chloride observed is within the permissible limit for Nira river.

Assessment of Water Quality: A Case Study of River Yamuna

Abstract: 81-8.00, 1046.5-1195.3 µS/cm, 27.0-37.3 NTU, 856.5-936.0 mg/l, 4.5-5.2 mg/l, 19.3-25.8 mg/l, 58.0-85.0 mg/l, 242.5-267.0 mg/l and 97.75-114.0 mg/l respectively. The results on the water quality parameters of Yamuna river indicate that the river is not safe for domestic purposes.
