The assessment of the Ganga River System at Rishikesh was investigated at five different sites for three different seasons (summer, winter and monsoon) using comprehensive pollution index (CPI), considering 10 physicochemical parameters such as conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total hardness, Cl, phosphate and sulphate. The CPI was found to be 0.54 2.47, which indicates the variation in pollution level of the River Ganga. The variation in pollution index value clearly shows that water quality was slightly polluted in winter (0.54 0.72) and summer (0.64 0.88) whereas high contamination (1.68 2.47) was observed during monsoon season. Among various sampling stations, Pashulok Barrage (Site 5) was more contaminated than other sites. All the studied parameters were under the permissible limit of W.H.O. (2011) except turbidity, total solids and suspended solids which were higher than the permissible limit. This study also illustrates the correlation between parameters by developing correlation matrix. The result of this study clearly elucidates that the water quality is getting contaminated as we moved from upstream to downstream of river and helps to understand the potential effects of water quality on drinking, irrigation and other purposes.

“…All the parameters show strong correlation with one another with values above 90% except pH (Table 8). This shows that they all have a common source of pollution [56]. Also, the correlation analysis computed for the four toxic metals (Table 9) indicates that there is a strong positive relationship between Cobalt and Lead (0.603), indicating a possible common source of contamination to the sampled groundwater possibly the legacy oil spill site within the area of study.…”

“…A positive relationship is revealed between Lead and Nickel (0.500), and a weak positive correlation (0.137) between Cobalt and Cadmium (Table 9). There was, however, a negative correlation between Nickel and Cadmium (-0.523) and between Nickel and Cobalt (-0.036), indicating that they do not have the same source of pollution [56].

This study was carried out to assess the drinking water quality of Ebubu community in Eleme between June 2015 and August 2015. Water samples were collected from ten functional boreholes using standard techniques. Physicochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, Total hardness, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Bicarbonate, Carbonate, Chloride, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sulphate, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium and Calcium), toxic metals (Cd, Pb, Ni and Co) and Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) levels were assessed using standard analytical protocols. Values recorded for physicochemical parameters (except for Magnesium and Calcium) were within the World Health Organization (WHO) limits. All elements under study were detected at the ten locations. The mean value of Cadmium (0.361 ± 0.381 mg/L) was observed to be the highest of all heavy metals assayed. The levels of the heavy metals in the study area were found to be in the order: Cadmium (0.361 ± 0.381 mg/L)>Lead (0.117 ± 0.056 mg/L)>Nickel (0.042 ± 0.0281 mg/L)>Cobalt (0.010 ± 0.009 mg/L) in the water samples. These values were above the WHO and NIS limits. PAHs were all <0.01 mg/L. The water quality parameters varied across the sampling periods (June and August); apart from Cd whose mean value was higher during the month of June, but lower during the month of August, all other toxic metals (Ni, Pb, and Co) and physicochemical properties were higher during the month of August. The groundwater from the community is therefore, unsafe for drinking purpose due to elevated levels of toxic metals. In light of these findings, periodic analysis of samples from boreholes is inevitable. Such analysis will reveal pollution status of groundwater in this area and to determine the best method for water treatment, to intimate consumers and other users of the groundwater, and also to safeguard their health against the subsequent impact that may arise from drinking polluted water.
