An investigation was carried out to assess the quality of water in Himalayan foot hill, Uttarakhand. The surface and ground water samples were collected during summer, monsoon and winter season from four sites. These water samples were analysed for their physico-chemical properties and heavy metals. The results revealed that the pH, EC, TDS and bicarbonate ranged from 7.2 to 7.7, 350.7 to 563.2 µScm-1, 385.7 to 906.7 ppm and 146.7 to 186.3 ppm, respectively in surface water, irrespective for season. The corresponding values for these parameters in ground water ranged from 7.1 to 7.3, 335.5 to 364.0 µScm-1, 316.7 to 610.0 ppm and 144.5 to 164.2 ppm. The concentrations of Na, K, Ca and Mg varied from 4.4 to 12.6 ppm, 1.8 to 18.0 ppm, 25.5 to 42.9 ppm and 16.6 to 32.0 ppm, respectively in surface water whereas the concentrations of these elements in ground water ranged from 4.6 to 6.8 ppm, 1.5 to 7.7 ppm, 19.5 to 35.6 ppm and 16.0 to 28.8 ppm, respectively. All the heavy metals were in safe limit in both sources of waters. In general, the concentrations of these water quality parameters were relatively higher during summer and lower in monsoon. On the basis of water quality index, the water samples collected from site-I and site-IV were rated as good to Excellent, whereas water samples of site-II and site-III were rated as poor to good in surface water. However, ground water at all the sites have been rated as good to excellent for the sustainable development.

The study integrates the morphometric analysis, lineament evaluation and fluvial geomorphology to investigate the morphotectonic setup of Sai basin. The Sai river basin forms an integral part of the central Ganga plain where the gentle slope is significantly controlled by intra-basinal tectonic activity. The fluvial setup of the Sai basin which comprises of vast old flood plains now is displayed as an entrenched river with straight channel symmetry with multiple sinuous bends. The structural control and geomorphic asymmetry can be well established by using multi criteria approach of morphometric parameters and lineament analysis. The morphometric analysis of the basin shows that the Sai river comprises of 5th order stream basin with high elongation ratio and high bifurcation ratio suggesting structural and tectonic controls. The form factor, drainage density, and length of overland flow shows low permeability with low infiltration rate indicating sheet erosion as a major denudational process. The lineament analysis from the stream pattern analysis indicates structural control for drainages while geomorphology corresponds to the landscape of the basin. The lineaments analysis shows a major NW-SE trend in concordance to present foreland basin. Thus, the study confirms that the Sai basin has conclusive evidences of morpho-tectonic control in the central Ganga plain indicating the role of the tectonics in basin evoluation.
