Published by : International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) http://www.ijert.org ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 7 Issue 07, July-2018 Surface Water Quality Analysis Along Mahanadi River (Downstream of Hirakud to Delta) Deba prakash satapathy1, Anil Kumar Kar2, Abhijeet Das3 1Associate Professor, C.E.T. Bhubaneswar 2Associate Professor, V.S.S.U.T, Burla 3Mtech Student, Civil Engg. Department, C.E.T, Bhubaneswar, Abstract: - In the present research program the status of The Mahanadi watershed is the most developed and pollution of water of a major river namely Mahanadi of Odisha urbanized region in the state of Odisha. The increasing (downstream of Hirakud dam) has been analyzed. The study deterioration of water quality of the watershed is mainly was conducted to assess and ascertain the physico-chemical attributed to the uncontrolled and improper disposal of properties of Mahanadi river water from sixteen different solid and toxic waste from industrial effluents, agricultural water quality monitoring stations of State Pollution Control Board. The analysis was carried out by taking certain runoff and other human activities. This alarming water important water quality determining parameters like pH, pollution not only causing degradation of water quality but Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), also threatens human health and balance of aquatic Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Chloride, Total Dissolved ecosystem, and economic development of the state. Oxygen (TDS), Nitrate, Sulphates, Total Hardness (TH), In the present study, data matrix obtained during 14 years Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Fluoride. Analyzed monitoring program (2000 to 2014) is subjected to different parameters like pH, DO, TH, Chloride, Sulphate and TDS multivariate statistical approach to extract information were found within permissible limit prescribed by IS 10500 about the similarities or dissimilarities between sampling except Nitrate and Fluoride content which exceeds at some sites, and the influences of possible sources on water sites. -
Drinking Water Quality Analysis of Surrounding Rivers in Bhubaneswar, Odisha
International Journal of Advance Research In Science And Engineering http://www.ijarse.com IJARSE, Vol. No.3, Issue No.5, May 2014 ISSN-2319-8354(E) DRINKING WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS OF SURROUNDING RIVERS IN BHUBANESWAR, ODISHA K. Mohapatra1, S. K. Biswal2, G.Nayak3 1Asst. Professor, Department of Chemistry,GITA, Bhubaneswar(India) 2Professor, Department of Chemistry, IGIT, Sarang(India) 3Lecturer in Chemistry, EATM, Bhubaneswar (India) ABSTRACT With rapid growth of population, Industrial activities and deforestation, the water quality of surrounding rivers in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha is gradually deteriorating. This city has become a environmental sensitive zone in the state of Odisha in India. Drinking water is supplied from surrounding rivers of Bhubaneswar like Kuakhai, Daya and Mahanadi. This supplied water from surrounding rivers becomes polluted when toxic substances, oxidized organics, inorganic, suspended solids, human, animal and plant pathogens enter into the water bodies. The treatment of surface water and waste water is necessary in order to maintain its quality standards for drinking water purposes. The objective of water treatment is to produce an adequate and continuous supply of water that is chemically, bacteriological free and aesthetically pleasing. Water samples from six different locations were collected in every month of pre mansoon, mansoon and post mansoon periods. Standard procedures were adopted to analyze and to calculate the different physic-chemical parameters of surface water samples using ISI standard procedure. Keywords: Surface Water Pollution; Physico-Chemical Parameter; Seasonal Variation; Mahanadi, Daya and Kuakhai Rivers. I INTRODUCTION Water plays a great role for the existence of human beings and all living organisms. -

Accepted 12 November, 2010 The olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea ) is known for its spectacular mass nesting behavior. The Rushikulya river mouth has emerged as one of the major mass nesting site in the world. To study the status of hydrological characteristics viz. depth, air and water temperature, salinity, conductivity, pH, total suspended solid, turbidity, dissolve oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, nutrients (NO 2-N, NO 3- N, (NH 3+NH 4)-N, SiO 3 and PO 4-P), petroleum hydrocarbon and dissolved trace metals such as Pb, Cd and Hg are evaluated in mass nesting period of olive ridley turtles at Rushikulya mass nesting site. In order to evaluate the status level of the pollutants and ultimately to protect the precious marine environment, an intensive monitoring has been carried out near Rushikulya, Gopalpur, Chatrapur and Haripur Creek of mass nesting site. The basic scientific objective of the present study is to determine the concentration, migration pattern and dynamics of the pollutants in the estuary and coastal environment. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative variations in microscopic plant organic matter assemblages and its preservation state in deltaic channel deposits of Mahanadi River was correlated with the depositional environment in the ecosystem in order to prepare a modern analogue for use in palaeoenvironment studies. For this, palynological and palynofacies study was carried out in 57 surface sediment samples from Birupa river System, Kathjodi-Debi River system and Kuakhai River System constituting Upper, Middle and Lower Deltaic part of Mahanadi river. The apex of the delta shows dominance of Spirogyra algae indicating high nutrient, low energy shallow ecosystem during most of the year and recharged only during monsoons. The depositional environment is anoxic to dysoxic in the central and south-eastern part of the Middle Deltaic Plain (MDP) and Lower Deltaic Plain (LDP) indicated by high percentage of nearby palynomorphs, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and algal or fungal spores. The northern part of the delta show high POM preservation only in the estuarine area in LDP but high Amorphous Organic Matter (MOA) in MDP.
