Assessment of water quality for Damodar River in Bokaro District, Jharkhand, India.

ABSTRACT

Water samples were collected from eight different sites for two successive years in order to analyze the various Physico-chemical parameters of river water. The assessment of water quality has been made by calculating water quality Index (WQI) for physico-chemical parameters of different sites. The values of water quality index of river water at all eight sites are found to be above standard value which is a clear indication of severely polluted water.
