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.
