Abstract

The systematic study has been a carry over to assess the water quality index (WQI) of Kali River in and around the Uttara Kannada district. Water samples are collected from six stations along the stretch of Kali river. Considering the physical, chemical and biological parameters like Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Total Hardness (TH), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Acidity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Chloride (Cl), Nitrates (NO3), Sulphate (SO4), Iron (Fe). The observed values of the parameters were compared with the standard values recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
