Prominence of seasonal water quality assessment in a tropical river using multivariate analysis: Kerala, India

Abstract: An account of seasonal water quality variability has been taken as a proxy for the changes of environmental setting occurring in the catchment areas and helps to illustrate the ecological system processes associated with it. The present study in Meenachil River (L = 78 km, A = 1272 km 2 ) comprising of stations from upstream to downstream for pre monsoon (PRM), monsoon (MON) and post monsoon (POM and Cl -ions were noted in the study. HCA dendrogram reveals that ion chemistry in S6 and S7 was strictly controlle… Show more

“…These stations are at the downstream portion of the river, which carries significant quantities of organic/inorganic wastes. Previous records have also highlighted the effects of anthropogenic influences on the River Meenachil [39][40][41]. Only a few reports are focused on organic phosphorus in rivers/lakes, as it was previously believed that organic phosphorus contributes insignificantly to the phosphate levels in the water.…”

“…Today there are many cities throughout world facing ansevere shortage of water and nearly 40 percent of the world's food supply is grown under irrigation and a wide variety of industrial processes depends on water. The environment, economic growth, and developments are all highly influenced by water-its regional and seasonal availability, and the quality of surface and groundwater 1 . The quality ofwater is affected by human activities and is declining due to the rise of urbanization, population growth, industrial production, climate change and other factors.…”
