Description :
Rivers are the main inland water resources for domestic, industrial and irrigation purposes and often carry large municipal sewage, industrial wastewater discharge and run off from agricultural land.The present investigation attempts to study the physico-chemical properties of river Erai in Chandrapur. The Chandrapur is known for hot and dry climate located around 155 kms. south of the Nagpur at 19° 57l latitude and 79° 22l longitude at a height of 321.95 meters above MSL. The seasonal variation in physico-chemical parameters like Water Temperature, pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, DO, Free CO2 etc. were studied for a year i.e. from June -2006 to May -2007. Glimpse of observations on physico-chemical parameters indicate that the river at the sampling site is mildly polluted.
