Critical appraisal of BOD and DO models applied to a highly polluted river in India

Abstract: Most commonly used biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) models have been tested for their applicability in the River Kali, which is one of the most polluted rivers in India. A total of 732 field data sets were generated during field survey from March 1999 to February 2000. The modelling of BOD and DO in the River Kali involves derivation and solution of the governing equations that describe concentration change with time and space brought on by advective, decay, settling and loading functi… Show more

“…Bhargava ( 1986 ) revealed that Streeter Phelps models could not precisely predict DO sag of a stream instantly after sewage outfalls as model does not take bio-flocculation and sedimentation of the adjustable BOD into account. Jha et al ( 2007 ) applied Streeter Phelps models for analyzing one of the most polluted rivers in India, i.e., the river Kali and showed the negative outcome with under and over-prediction. Kaushik et al ( 2012 ) modified Streeter Phelps model by considering the settle able component of BOD and the effect of storage zones on river’s DO.…”
