Abstract

White Bein is an important tributary of Sutlej River and passing through two main district of Punjab. Number of tanneries, paper mills and sugar mill are situated around it. Three representative sampling stations (Ucha, Chehru and Darewal) were selected in this study to evaluate the quality of tributary. The samples were analysed for conductivity, pH, Hardness, chloride, DO, COD, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, F and Cr. The analysis was carried out using standard analytical procedures. A number of parameters crossed the Indian standard permissible limits and water quality guidelines for aquatic life and indicated pollution within tributary.
