Abstract
20Dec 2016 EVALUATION OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GOMTI RIVER WATER AT UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA. Hafizurrahman , Abrar Ahmad , MohdMabood Khan and ZulfiqarAli.

Highlights
A total 10 parameters namely Temperature, pH, Total dissolved solids (TDS),Total hardness, Alkalinity, free CO2, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and Chlorides were analyzed and their seasonal variation is discussed to obtain the impact of effluents on water quality
The samples were analyzed for 10 different physicochemical parameters namely Temperature, pH, Total dissolved solids (TDS), Total Hardness(TH), Alkalinity, Free CO2, Biological oxygen demand(BOD),Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and chlorides
Similar observation have reported by other workers in Indian Rivers, especially in Ganga (Kannan, 2000), in Gomti River (Arti Saxena, 2016) and Purna River, Maharastra(Meitei, et al.,2004).The variation in temperature is mainly related with the atmospheric temperature and weather condition (Adebowale, et al, 2008)
Summary
A total 10 parameters namely Temperature, pH, Total dissolved solids (TDS),Total hardness, Alkalinity, free CO2, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and Chlorides were analyzed and their seasonal variation is discussed to obtain the impact of effluents on water quality. The River goes for a distance of about 900 km, passing through Uttar Pradesh to join River Ganges in Ghazipur.Different cities that are located along the banks of the River Gomti are Sultanpur, Lucknow, Jaunpur and Lakhimpur Kheri, Barabanki and these are the main cities that are prominent in the region, out of the total 15 cities in the catchment land. Collection of water sample:In the present study, seasonal variations in physical and chemical parameters of Gomti River were studied.
