Study on Quantity Analysis of Chloride Presence in Ganga Basin

Abstract

Water pollution and its consequences for humans and agriculture compelled us to examine a variety of water quality indicators. We used a variety of water quality testing methods, including the Wrinkler's method, the EDTA procedure, a pH meter, and others. Ganges water samples are analyzed for their physicochemical properties. Throughout the months of April and May of 2010, water samples were taken from several locations in and around Kanpur. To determine the importance of water quality indicators, a correlation analysis was done between a wide range of properties, including pH, temperature, turbidity, total hardness (TH), metal, total alkalinity (TA), dissolved oxygen (DO), and suspended solids (SS) and Chloride(Cl). It was found that, with the exception of turbidity, all of the properties are well within the WHO-recommended ranges. Several negatively charged species, as NO3 - and Cland Fare, were also discovered to be beyond of acceptable ranges.
