Abstract
The Neri nala is a small rivulet flowing between Chandrapur and Durgapur cities. Seasonal Studies were made to know the water quality of this small rivulet for assessing the water quality parameters viz. BOD, COD, TDS, Chloride, Sulphate, Phosphate along with other physico-chemical parameters. The additional burden to this small rivulet is received from washing, bathing and other domestic activities of adjoining slums. The studies indicate the polluted status of this rivulet due to inputs from adjoining localities and the degraded water quality, subsequently points out that it is unfit for bathing or any other activity. The presence of phosphate in large quantity originates due to surfactants utilized by local slum dwellers which might cause the eutrophication problem in long run.
