Aithal. U. B.

Abstract :

River Ganga is considered as the mother of Indians. Crores of people lives with the water of this holy river. Hindus

were worshiped it as Goddess. This is a great gift of God to the Indian people. The water of Ganga is used for many
purpose. But now a days due to the explosion of population, deforestation, increase in urbanization and increase in industries makes Ganga
water pollution. The purity level of water is decreasing day by day. Two main components of purity level is dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand(BOD). In this paper a Statistical analysis of DO and BOD of Ganga water is made by using a sample of water 16
locations. The results of 2012 are compared with the purity level in 1986[1]. The study shows that the dissolved oxygen level is having very high
variation and is decreased significantly. The bio-chemical oxygen demand is also having high variation and decreased in a significant rate
in 2012 as compared to 1986[2]. An exponential-power model for dissolved oxygen is constructed for both 1986 and 2012 for the purpose of
estimation[3]. The model is tested by using chi-square test[4].
