Abstract
The paper describes the chemical characteristics of Wunna River at Hinganghat, Wardha district of Maharashtra State. Various chemical characteristics such as BOD, COD, total alkalinity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, chloride, sodium, nitrate, chromium and iron were studied at 3 different station of Wunna River viz. upstream region (S,), effluent mixed region (5,) and 700 m away from effluent mixed region (S,). Marginal variations in chemical characteristics were noticed at station 1 and 3. However, higher values were recorded at station 2 i.e. effluent mixed region. Data analysis indicates heavy pollution of eco system of the river at the site of release of textile industry waste water ie. S,
