Physico-Chemical Analysis of Potable Water Quality of Machna River at District Betul (M.P.)

Water quality monitoring is an important aspect of water management concerning to the pollution control. The present study was aimed to estimate current status of physico-chemical characteristic of Machna river at district Betul (M. P. ). Monthly changes in physico-chemical parameters such as Temperature, Colour, Odour, pH, Turbidity, Electrical Conductance, Total Hardness, Ca-Hardness, Mg-Hardness, Total Dissolve Solids, Total Suspended Solids, Total Solids, Total Alkalinity, Chloride, Nitrate, Dissolve Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand of water samples from four important sampling stations of Machna river at district Betul (M. P. ) were analysed for a period of one year from Mar.2019 to Feb.2020. The results of the present study revealed that most of the studied physico-chemical parameters of the water samples were within the permissible limits suggested by WHO and river water can be used for domestic and irrigation purpose after proper treatment.
