Abstract :

The present study focussed on seasonal variation in physicochemical analysis of Vidarbha (Idarba) and Bor Rivers of Amravati district from Maharashtra studied during different seasons for one year from Oct.2010 to Sept.2011. The analyzed data were compared with standard values recommended by BIS (1998).The physicochemical parameters which were analysed include pH, Calcium hardness, Magnesium hardness, Total hardness, Total dissolved solids, Alkalinity, Sulphate, Nitrate, Dissolved oxygen, BOD and COD. The study on analysis of the water quality parameters of Vidarbha (Idarba) and Bor Rivers of Amravati district from Maharashtra shows that the calcium, TDS, Sulphate, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values are well within the acceptable limits. Total alkalinity of both the rivers was above the acceptable limits and pH was slightly alkaline. However, the values of total hardness in case of Bor river exceeded the acceptable limit during all the seasons as per BIS standards. This indicates the extent of pollution due to addition of effluents.
