College, Kanpur (India) ABSTRACT Water samples from river Ganga at Gola Ghat , Bithoor Ghat, Jajamau Bridge and Bithoor Ghat in Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh were collected and physico-chemical parameters were determined using standard analytical procedure in Jan.to Dec.2013. pH (7.1-9.3 ), chloride and phosphate contents of water samples were determined 09-25 mg/l and 0.04-0.16 ppm respectively. Total hardness 92.4-166.1 mg/l, fluoride level also 6.0-6.3 mg/l, DO of samples were 4.0-8.4 mg/l, BOD were 2.0-7.5 mg/l and COD were 08-40 mg/l. These results were said to their agreed with the limits set by World Health Orgnization (WHO) for drinking water. Keyword: Pollution Status,WHO, Drinking Water. I. INTRODUCTION Water the most essential requisites that nature has provided to sustain life on earth. About 80% earth surface is covered by water. The deteriorate quality of water create various problems for mankind. The growth in population, about 90% of which occur in uebon area, increases the demand for water for domestic and industrial uses. Water pollution from domestic and human waste is the main cause for human being water born desease. The industrial water pollution is due to inadequate measure adopted in the industry for the abatement of pollution. It is need of time to protect environment for present and future generations. The purpose of study into prepares qualitative assessment of abiotic and biotic conditions prevailing in river Ganga. II. MATERIAL AND METHOD The Kanpur on National Highway no.1 and 2 falls on Broad Gauge NR Railway line between Delhi and Kolkata. Water samples were collected in clean polythene bags and subjected to chemical analysis for measurement of different parameters such as temperature,pH, DO, BOD, COD, fluoride, chloride, phosphate ,hardness and total dissolved by standered analytical methods in Jan. to Dec.2013.
