Statistical Evaluation and Water Quality Assessment of Machna River at District-Betul (M.P.)

Dr. D. S. Saluja

Abstract: The Present work deals with the study of various water quality parameters of Machna River at District- Betul (M.P.). Monthly variation of important physico-chemical parameters was studied during the period from Jun 2022 to Sep.2022. The samples from five (05) different pollution prone locations were taken and analyzed for Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), Dissolve Oxygen (DO), Chlorides and Nitrates parameters. The Comparative study of these studied parameters was done and shown graphically also. The results of analyzed parameters depicted that almost parameter values are within the permissible limit as prescribed by WHO and BIS (10500), while a few parameters are deviate from limit due to various reasons and some proper treatment and more efficient management are also required to conserve the river water quality.
