ABSTRACT
In this study, analysis of the water quality parameters of three rivers i.e. Tangari, Ghaggar and Markanda in the state of Haryana, India was done with the standard procedures. After analysis and testing, water quality parameters were represented numerically. All the permissible limits were noted as prescribed by the MoEF & CC, BIS, etc. and compared with the observed values. The water quality parameters like pH, TDS, TSS, TA, TH, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl–, F–, PC, Pb and Cr, near the railway bridge construction sites, were observed below the permissible limits. However, the average values of turbidity in all the rivers near the construction site exceeded the permissible limits, indicating that it may adversely affect the biota of that region.
Key words : River water, water quality, pH, turbidity, chloride
