ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to assess and ascertain the physico-chemical properties of Seonath River water from five different locations of Durg city of Chhattisgarh during the month of March, 2018. The analysis was carried out by taking certain important parameters like pH. Analyzed parameters like pH were found within permissible limit prescribed by IS 10500 except which decreases at some times. A low pH value clearly indicates the status of the river water i.e. polluted. This physicochemical parameter indicates the deterioration of water quality which is the result of various anthropogenic disturbances. Other source which contributes more or less in water quality depletion are disposal of untreated domestic and sewage effluents and different types of solid wastes directly to river.

Keywords: Physico-chemical properties, Anthropogenic, pH, sewage effluents.
