Abstract :
The Sindh River of Dabra, M.P, India, has
significant monetary and conventional ties to the local
people. The purpose of this study isto determine the water
quality index of the Sindh River in Dabra town, M.P. The
samples were taken from five different locations of Sindh
River and analyzed for various physicochemical
parameters like pH, Turbidity, EC, Total hardness,
Alkalinity, Acidity, Chlorides, TDS, TSS, Dissolved
Oxygen, BOD, COD, MPN, Sulphate, Nitrate and
phosphate. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is used to
analyze the environment of water in terms of pollutant
load classification and class identification. The Water
Quality index (WQI) result at every point shows that the
water of the Sindh River at Dabra is unfit for
consumption cause possibly due to excessive effluent
discharge, home sewage and other human activities.
Keywords :
Sindh River, Water Quality Index, Weighted Arithmetic Mean Method, Physico-chemical parameters.
