STUDY OF SEASONAL VARIATION AND CORRELATION OF CERTAIN PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN WAINGANGA RIVER MARKANDA, DISTRICT GADCHIROLI, (MS), INDIA.

Abstract

Current investigation was taken into consideration for a period of March 2023 to February 2024 in Wainganga River to identify the range of a certain physico-chemical parameters and their relationship with each other. Temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total Dissolved Solids and Electrical Conductivity were recorded at 4 different sites. Seasonal values and coefficient of correlation among them were also calculated. Values that are found and calculated show that normal river water at first station gets polluted at 2 different stations and thereby deteriorates its quality. Our study points out the involvement of anthropogenic factors for lowering the river water quality
