Abstract

Despite the existence of pertinent legislation, pollution of water resources is a sever and developing issues. An important body of water in Khalilabad Sant Kabir Nagar U.P., India is the river Ami, which recives treated and untreated effluents from sources in Gorakhpur city, Khalilabad and Basti. Evaluation of these effluents harmful effects on the Ami river water quality was the main goal of the current investigation. The change in water body physicochemical properties on seasonally basis, including temperature, pH, DO, BOD, COD, TSS, and TDS also based on the methodology used by the (APHA) American Public Health Association. All these criteria were significantly greater above the tolerance level advised by the central pollution control board of India.

Keywords: Industrial effluents, physicochemical properties, APHA, Ami river water.
