Comparative study of physico-chemical parameters and water quality index of river

The change in natural water quality is caused due to the diversity of human activities which is causing huge impact on the hydrologic cycle. The increasing pollution is impairing the use of the water which is creating hazards to the public health as well as the environment through toxicity and diseases. The water quality impact assessment has been undertaken to define the impact of pollution to the environment. The water quality analysis is very basic tool for determining water body condition. This study will help to analysis the water quality and better water resource management. The study is focused on the assessment of parameter of waste water affecting the quality of water and having hazardous effect. This will interprets the condition of the Mula Mutha river which can help the local authority of Pune city in taking the action and identification of sources of pollution and improving the water quality around the city. The data of 2013 to 2018 has been taken for the comparative study and Water quality index had been calculated to change caused in course of time. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
