Assessment for Water Quality of Mutha River using Correlation

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea. Mula Mutha river is one of the major river of Pune city. Mula originates from Mulshi dam and it passes through Poud, Lavasa, Wakad, Balewadi, Baner, Aundh, Khadki, Vishrantwadi, and ends at Sangamwadi. Monitoring of river involves comparison of water quality data between stations, analysis of water quality trends, development of cause effect relationships between water quality data and environmental data. Present work deals with the analysis of physico chemical parameters of Mutha river i.e from Khadakwasla Dam to Sangam Bridge. Water samples are collected from four locations. Water quality assessment is carried out by "correlation coefficient r "is determined using "correlation matrix" to identify the highly correlated and interrelated water quality parameters. The study involves certain physico chemical parameters such as dam pH, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity, Hardness, Alkalinity, BOD, COD, TDS and correlation between them.
