ANALYSIS OF SEASONAL VARIATION AND CORRELATION COEFFICIENT OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN POR RIVER, NEAR HARAMBA, CHAMORSHI, DIST. GADCHIROLI, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA.

Abstract

This study was conceded out for a period of March 2023 to February 2024 in Por River find the actual readings of a few physico-chemical parameters and their correlation to each other. At 4 different locations, the readings of Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Temperature and pH were recorded. Also, their seasonal values and correlation among them via Pearson's coefficient of correlation (r-values) were determined. Our values that we recorded and later calculated show that two different locations are lowering the quality of river water which was good at first location. Our investigation clearly hints the indulgence of human’s society to be responsible for influencing water quality of the river.
