Assessment of Water Quality Parameters of Kushiyara River, Bangladesh

Abstract

Abstract:The Kushiyara River basin is located in the north eastern region of Bangladesh. The aim of this study is to investigate the water quality parameters seasonal variation on the basis of physico-chemical analysis such as Temperature, P H , DO (Dissolved Oxygen), BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), TS (Total Solids), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and SS (Suspended Solids) in both rainy season and winter season for the years 2010 to 2013. The rainy season data is collected during June-July and the winter season data is collected during November-December for each of the year. Our ultimate outcomes will convey a sound message for the government body and policy maker to rules and regulation in order to keep ecological balance as well as save our environment. We therefore suggest wise management of anthropogenic actions in the catchment of Kushiyara River.
