ABSTRACT
COVID-19 is a pandemic that affected the majority of countries of the world. After the COVID-19 outburst, the Indian Government declared the complete lockdown starting on the night of 24 March 2020. The lockdown period is in its 4th phase. In the recent year it has been very fascinating to remind that the behaviour in the environment is vastly optimistic and all layers of the earth are under the repairing mode during the lockdown. With these healing environments, the conditions of the Yamuna River water in Mathura (polluted river) have also been found to be upgrading. In this present concern, we work on the concentration of BOD, COD, pH, and other physicochemical parameters for the study, i.e. TDS, Chlorides, Alkalinity, Magnesium, Calcium, Fluoride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Hardness and Total Coliform of Yamuna River (Mathura), respectively, which was found to be reduced as compared to pre-lockdown concentration, i.e. 57, 57, 3.6, 11.7, 5.1, 7.4, 9.5, 4.2, 62.5, 14.8, 33.3, and 4.5%. In the present work, the water of Yamuna River was analysed during the lockdown phase in ITL Labs Pvt. Ltd., Delhi (India). Yamuna River showed a better quality of water during the lockdown. As per results and trend analysis, the value was reducing in this lockdown phase, which is a matter of concern. Major locations of Yamuna water sample collection are Mathura region, i.e. adjacent to the road 50 m from Adda village in Naujheel of Mathura district in Uttar Pradesh. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
