Abstract
The present study deals with the influence of discharge of various drains carrying domestic and industrial wastes on the water quality of river Ganga at different locations of Rishikesh and Haridwar. It is indicated that though the quality of river water deteriorates at these locations, the river still has an excellence purifying ability. The condition of water quality is not much alarming. There is a need of monitoring of water quality from different depths at 5-6 different points of water current across the river width throughout the year. Various methods for the proper management of river water have been suggested.
