Physico-chemical characteristics of surface water of Sehore town, district Sehore, M.P. (India)

Abstract

Today water resources have been the most exploited natural system since man strode the earth. Pollution of water bodies is increasing steadily due to rapid population growth, industrial proliferations, urbanizations, increasing living standards and wide spheres of human activities. Time is, perhaps not too for when pure & clean water, particularly in densely populated, industrialized water scarce areas may be inadequate for maintaining the normal living standards. Ground water, rivers, seas, lakes, ponds, and streams, are finding it more & more difficult to escape from population. Many rivers of the world receive heavy flues of sewage, industrial effluents, domestic and agriculture waste which consist of substances varying from simple nutrient to highly toxic hazardous chemicals. In Sehore Parwati River, Jamunia Dam and Bhagwanpura Dam and Siwan

“…NMCH found to be more polluted as its Shannon Index value is lower than SGBP. The Evenness index affirms equitable abundance of various species and agrees with the result of Sharma and Sharma (2008, 12), and Sharma and Hussain (2001) [21] . Species diversity implies equitability for both species richness and species evenness among the two ponds.…”
