Abstract

Wardha, Wainganga and Penganga are the important rivers surrounding Chandrapur district. Wardha river flows into the district from western boundary and then flows along the boundries of Warora, Chandrapur, Korpana, Rajura, Ballarpur and Gondpipari talukas and Penganga and Irai meets the Wardha river. Monitoring of water quality of Wardha river was carried out from November 2011 to July 2012. Water samples were collected and analysed as per standard methods. Parameters such as pH, turbidity were measured in situ. Raised values of physico-chemical parameters indicate the pollution of riverine ecosystem. Due to domestic waste, muncipal sewage, industrial effluent agricultural runoff that influence the water quality directly or indirectly. The microbiological analysis exhibited presence of pathogenic bacteria.Bacterial count was found tobe more than 10 /100 ml so the sample is unsafe for drinking. © 2014, Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research.
