Hydrobiological studies in river Burhi Ganga in district Etah (U.P.), India
Keywords:
Hardness, Total solids, Dissolved oxygen, Water pollutionAbstract
Water pollution is a major problem today. Excessive agricultural chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides, sewage and industrial effluent runoff in rivers and pollute aquatic ecosystem. It in turns affects the aquatic fauna and flora and water quality also. In the present study, quality of Burhi Ganga river water has been tested on the basis of some hydrobiological parameters like water hardness, total solids and dissolved oxygen.
