Evaluation of Water Quality Index of Surface Water in Kuroorthodu River, Kothamangalam, Kerala, India
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
A Water Quality Index (WQI) provides a single number that expresses overall quality at certain location and time based on several water quality parameters. The objective of an index is to turn complex quality data in to information that is understandable and useable by the public. For calculating the WQI 12 physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Electric Conductivity, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Chloride, Sulphate, Calcium, Magnesium, Nitrate, Fluoride, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity were taken to assess the impact of pollutants due to anthropogenic activities. The present work deals with the monitoring of variation of seasonal water quality index of some strategically selected points of Kuroorthodu river. The Water Quality Index value for the Surface water ranges from 8.6 to 190.9 during the monsoon season and 15.3 to 103.8 during the post-monsoon season.
