Abstract

Present paper describes BOD and COD value of Narmada river at Khedighat, Barwaha (M.P.). Both the parameters were studied at three study point (A, B, C). BOD and COD were higher in study point B and C in comparison to study point A. However, both the studied parameter were within permission limits and thus not causing any serious threat to River Narmada.

Keywords

BOD, COD, Distillery Effluent, River Narmada.

Abstract

The effluent discharged from distillery industries has shown higher values of physico-chemical parameters in the study area. The values of temperature, pH, TS, TDS, TSS, DO, BOD, COD, chloride and potassium were found to be increased in the River Narmada at the study point II to VI in comparison to the study point I taken as control. This showed that the entry of distillery effluents altered limnochemistry of River Narmada in the study area, which may put an adverse effect on the aquatic life.
