PHYSICO-CHEMICAL STUDY OF WATER QUALITY OF SONE RIVER IN AMLAI AT SHAHDOL MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA

Abstract: -

River health has become one of the most important environmental issues today because of multiple anthropogenic stressors and other artificial interventions that have led to adverse long-term impacts on the physical habitats, biodiversity, ecological functions and the services provided by a water body. Sone river, located in Madhya Pradesh, India This study has been carried out with the primary objective of diagnosing chemical and biological river health of the sone river with regard to physico-chemical parameters and abundance of the plankton community, micro-organism, zooplanktons using statistical analysis. sites along the river were selected for sampling purposes, namely, (Station. 01)-12 no, primary station of water treatment plant Amlai in (Station. 02)- the site of orient paper mills Amlai (m. p.) physico-chemical parameters was considered for the study and data were collected. month-wise for which results have been shown season-wise (winter, rainy(pre) and summer). Tests for physico-chemical parameters were done through standard. The physico-chemical parameters as well as correlation of the abundance of phytoplankton with abiotic factors the river which was further computed by a regression analysis. Phytoplankton, micro-organism dominated over phytoplankton in all the Stations in the present study. phytoplankton, indicating poor ecological health of the ‘some other water parameter like that electronic conductivity of water in very hazards, the high percentages of waste coal material and some amount of coal is polluted in this river water quality.
