Evaluating Water Quality of Ganga River Within Uttar Pradesh State by Water Quality Index Analysis Using C++ Program

Abstract

The Ganga basin accounts for a little more than one-fourth (26.3%) of the country’s total geographical area and is the biggest river basin in India, covering the entire states of Uttarakhand (UK), Uttar Pradesh (UP), Bihar, Delhi, and parts of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal. In this study we chose Uttar Pradesh (UP) as maximum area in water pollution on Ganga River. For purpose of this study we have 13 monitoring station along with Ganga River in UP state. The present study shows evaluation of water quality for Ganga River within UP using WQI analysis by C++ program. In the case of Ganga River the concentrations of BOD, TH, PO₄, NO₃, EC and PH were found to be outside the acceptable range of WHO standards.
