Abstract

Physico-chemical and microbial characteristics of water of Mansi Ganga at Goverdhan (District Mathura) were studied during July 2009 to June 2010. Three sites of the reservoir were selected for sampling. The water was found to be severely polluted. The parameters like pH, BOD, COD and ammonical contents were found to be very high but the microbial population and DO was far below the expected.
