ABSTRACT:

Alterations and adulteraiton in physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water may cause harmful effect on human and aquatic biota. Addition of excess of undesirable substance to water makes it harmful to human, animal and aquatic life. It causes significant deviation from the normal activities of various living communities in or out water. Eight different water samples from sehore are have been collected during Dec. 2008 and analyzed. The values obtained were compared with standards prescribed by WHO and ISI 10500-91 and also compared with results of the pre monsoon samples. In the present study only one water samples is in the permissible limit and others are not, TH, Alkalinity, Ca2+, Turbidity, are found to be higher then prescribed limits which indicate poor water quality.
