Abstract

The present investigation was carried out on the Kosi River, an important tributary of the river Ramgangafrom January 2012 to December 2012. Kosi is a spring fed river. The constituents monitored included water temperature, current velocity, pH, total dissolved solid, total solids, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, total alkalinity and hardness. Throughout the study period, the water was found hard and a significant variation of the rest parameters were observed. The present study also revealed that the physico-chemical parameters showed a great seasonal variation and velocity of water andtotal solids were found to be highest in monsoon season that had a strong impact on other physico-chemical factors of the river.
