Abstract:

Water physicochemical factors in the Ganga River are examined in this research, with an emphasis on how human activities, especially farming and household chores, affect water quality. Six locations along the river were chosen for water sampling, which took place over the course of four months (January–April 2021). We used disposable plastic bottles that had been washed before collecting water. We kept the bottles in an ice box at 4°C until analysis, at which point we followed conventional procedures. The statistical analysis that was conducted to determine the significance of the differences in water quality across the sample locations included one-way ANOVA. Findings show that temperature was consistent across all sites, although pH levels showed significant variations (p < 0.05). There were notable variances in the water composition affected by environmental and anthropogenic influences, as shown by the large variations (p < 0.001) in electrical conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium, chlorides, and nitrites. But phosphate levels were stable (p =0.36), suggesting that agricultural runoff was little.
