Assessment of water quality of a river using an indexing approach during the low‐flow season

Abstract: The River Chenab is one of the largest rivers in Pakistan with an average annual flow of 5.29 billion cubic metres (BCM). The river traverses a total length of 576 km through a number of densely populated and industrial cities in the Punjab province of Pakistan. In the present study, a segment of 292 km was monitored for a variety of cardinal water quality constituents during the low-flow months of 2006-07 and 2007-08. Water quality indices (WQIs) were calculated for three uses of the river water, i.e. irrigat… Show more

“…The full supply discharge capacity of Marala Ravi Link and Upper Chenab canals is 622 and 477 m 3 s -1 , respectively (Bhatti and Latif 2011). The average sediment Environ Earth Sci transport capacity of these canals is 199 mg l -1 and 356 mg l -1 , respectively (Shakir and Khan 2009).…”

“…Other indirect laboratory test for assessing the DO is the BOD which is the amount of oxygen required to biologically break down a contaminant (Ugwu and Wakawa, 2012). BOD therefore is an important parameter of water indicating the health scenario of freshwater bodies (Bhatti and Latif, 2011). The BOD values obtained in this study were low when compared to the range of 9.55 -13.21 mg/L obtained by Ugwu and Wakawa (2012).…”
