Water is the lifeblood of the Earth, and coverage to water through river systems sustains the furthermost of possible life. Various factors such as quality, quantity, and timing of flow are responsible for the health of the river. The spectrum of river flow unpredictability is an ecologically crucial constituent in a river ecosystem.The ecological...

Context 1
... The mean value of the data with the standard error was calculated which were shown in Table 2. The values of all the parameters were compared by the stranded values of the drinking water set by the WHO 2011. ...Context 2
... values of EC in the Sabarmati River lie in between 3.36 to 3.54 mhos/cm. The maximum EC was reported during summer at 5.14 mohs/cm and the minimum in winter 4.0 mohs/cm (Table 2). These values were within the limits of WHO 500 mohs/cm. ...Context 4
... maximum TDS in monsoon1247 ppm which saw enriches the nutrient status of water and resulted in eutrophication of the aquatic ecosystem. The minimum TDS was during summer at 740 ppm whichimparts a flat, insipid taste to drinking water (Table 2). ...Context 5
... alkaline state of pH might be due to the chemical buffering and release of bicarbonate and carbonate ions or salts [19]. The PH values of samples range are7.2 -7.8 which showed acidic water the whole year ( Table 2). ...Context 6
... main source of alkalinity in the water of some lake and river are the addition of soap and detergent used by the residents for bathing and washing purpose. The alkalinity value ranged between 135 -168 ppm (Table 2) which under the WHO limit of drinking water. The maximum value of alkalinity was reported in monsoon season 168 ppm and minimum in summer due to high temperature and less water in the river. ...Context 7
... hardness is caused by the association of the hardness causing cation with sulfate chloride or nitrate and is referred to as -permanent hardness‖ because it cannot be removed by boiling. The total hardness recorded in the water ranges between 214 to 247 ppm (Table 2) fell below W.H.O and S.O.N standard of drinking water. The maximum amount of total hardness in the water was recorded during monsoon season 247 ppm due to the addition of large quantities of sewage and detergent along with rainwater and the minimum amount of total hardness was recorded during the summer season. ...Context 8
... is the most abundant ion in fresh water and is important in shell construction, bone-building, and plant precipitation of lime. The analysis of calcium revealed a range of between 89 to 114 ppm and the W.H.O standard of drinking water indicates that the taste threshold for the calcium ion is in the range of 100-300 ppm ( Table 2). The maximum amount of calcium recorded in water was during the summer season, whereas the minimum amount of calcium in water was recorded during the monsoon season due to the addition of rainwater in the river. ...Context 9
... is essential for chlorophyll growth and it also acts as a limiting factor for the growth of phytoplankton. The amount of magnesium recorded in the water ranges between 10 to 24 ppm whichwas below the standard limit of WHO i.e. 150 ppm (Table 2). The maximum amount of magnesium in the water was recorded during monsoon season 24 ppm whereas the minimum value was recorded during summer season 10 ppm due to the use of magnesium by the planktons for the photosynthesis. ...Context 10
... oxygen value is higher in those lakes where there was good aquatic life. The amount of dissolved oxygen recorded in the water ranges between 3.40 to 5.41 ppm ( Table 2). The minimum amount of dissolved oxygen recorded during the monsoon season 3.40 ppm, whereas the maximum amount of dissolved recorded during the winter season 5.41 ppm. ...Context 11
... health-based guideline value is proposed for chloride in drinking-water by WHO and SON standard of drinking water. However, a chloride concentration lies between 33 to 44 ppm ( Table 2). The minimum amount of chloride was reported in Summerdue to the high rate of evaporation and the maximum amount of chloride recorded during the monsoon season which was under the limit of WHO (200 ppm). ...Context 12
... maximum drinking water standard of 100 mg/lit has been proposed for the general public. The amount of sodium recorded in the water of the Sabarmati River ranges between 22 to 33 ppm ( Table 2). The minimum amount of sodium was recorded during the summer season and the maximum amount was recorded during the monsoon season. ...Context 13
... highest amount of nitrate concentration was known to support the formation of blooms. The amount of nitrate recorded in the water of the Sabarmati River ranges between 7.9 to 10.7 ppm (Table 2). The maximum amount of nitrate was recorded during monsoon season 10.7 ppm which suggested that has high nitrate values in monsoon months because of difference in the distribution of nitrate may be due to decomposition processes as well as an aerobic nitrate-ammonification of nitrate to ammonia. ...Similar publications
Spatial variations of lake water physicochemical parameters were investigated using mapping of higher plumes/identifying critical areas in Wular Lake. The lake water is alkaline (pH: 7.4 to 8.2), characterized by medium total dissolved solids (56‐250 mg/L) and electrical conductivity (115‐321μS cm‐1). The average concentration of parameters like ca...
