Abstract :

 The present study was intended to calculate Water Quality Index (WQI) of a rural freshwater body in Ghuma village, in order to ascertain the quality of water for public consumption, recreation and other purposes. This paper deals with the study on the influence of environmental parameters on the water quality of water body. There are several ways to assess the quality of water deemed fit for drinking, irrigation and industrial use. Water Quality Index, indicating the water quality in terms of index number, offers a useful presentation of overall quality of water for public or for any intended use as well as in the pollution abatement programmes and in water quality management. In this study Water Quality Index was determined on the basis of various physico–chemical parameters.Palmer stated that composite rating of algae, tolerating organic pollution and developed an index to establish the status of the aquatic body. In this method to determine the level of organic pollution by studying the algae present in a sample of water
