A Preliminary Assessment of Water Quality In Nambul River, Manipur, India

Thangjam Gopeshwor Singh, Abhik Gupta

Abstract :

 Eleven physico–chemical variables of the water of Nambul river were analyzed during the dry and wet seasons of the year 2011. The results reveal that site 2 (Thong Nambonbi) located in the heart of Imphal city was the most polluted site because of the considerable contaminant loads at this site. Compared to this site, the upstream site 1 (Mayang Langjing) and downstream site 3 (Wangoi) were less polluted. Comparatively higher values of EC and inorganic nutrients including chloride, nitrate and phosphate were found at this site during both seasons. Further, the study reveals that dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in river water is significantly affected by variables such as chloride, nitrate and inorganic phosphate, which exhibit significant negative correlations with DO at p < 0.01.
