Abstract
Banganga is the first major station for a yatries when they undertake their on-foot journey from Katra to Bhawan (Shri Mata Vaishno Devi). The pilgrims reach a small bridge under which flows Banganga, the legendary river associated with the miracles and legends of Mata Vaishno Devi. There is water in the river all through the year. Various physico-chemical and biological parameters were taken into consideration during the course of study, these includes colour, temperature, DO, BOD, COD, pH, total hardness, total suspended solids and Total dissolved solids. Based on the results of this study it has concluded that slight increase of pollutants in downstream of the river was observed in comparison to the upstream, hence it is an alarming position of increasing pollution load in the river.
