Evaluation of Physicochemical Profile of Upper and Lower Stretch of River Narmada Madhya Pradesh, India

Narmada is the lifeline of Madhya Pradesh. For evaluating the water quality of river Narmada an assessment of physicochemical profile of upper and lower stretchs of Narmada River, a study has been carried out for more then one year from April 2021 to November 2022 at eight different selected sites for the lower and upper stretch studied. To the estimation of lower stretch four sites selected viz. Narmada Kund, Puskar dam, Kanpildhara, and Bhimkhundi were selected.for the upper stretch eight sites selected viz. Narmada kund, puskar dam, kapildhara, Bhimkundi,chandanghat,Dindori, Kosamghat, Mandala. Estimation of nitrates, ammonia, phosphates, hardness, and alkalinity, conductivity, temperature, pH and TDS were recorded with fluctutuation from the statnderd values in this study.This study will be helpful for the estmation of pollution and deteoriation in the water quality at the eight different site & levels of the River Narmada.
