Abstract

The significant sources of organic pollution enhance nutrient contents in the river water. Nitrogen, phosphorous and silicates play very important role in the biological activities of aquatic environments, such as the abundance of vegetation and faunal status. The Wainganga river water at Pauni town is analyzed for nutrient concentrations their inputs and rate of assimilation by organisms. Phosphate concentration ranged from 0.91 mg/l to 2.29 mg/l, ammonia nitrogen ranged from 0.32mg/l to 1.48 mg/l , nitrate nitrogen ranged from-, nitrite from 2.88 mg/l to 7.64 mg/l.
