Assessment of Spatial and Temporal Variations in Water Quality Dynamics of River Ganga in Varanasi
River Ganga is one of the prime sacred National Rivers of India, closely associated with economic, social, and cultural heritage of Indian people. Recently, it has been subjected to immense degradation and pollution as a result of receiving huge amounts of domestic and industrial wastewater as well as religious ritual activities and surface runoff. The present study attempts to study spatial an...

متن کاملHeavy metal contamination of Ganga river at Varanasi in relation to atmospheric deposition
We investigated the mid stream water quality of Ganga river as influenced by aerially driven heavy metals at Varanasi, India. Twelve sampling stations were selected along a 20 km long stretch of the river. Mid stream sub-surface water samples collected at fortnightly intervals from all the sites were acid digested and analyzed for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. The data revealed that the mid-stream...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization and molecular phylogeny of multiple metal tolerant and antibiotics resistant bacterial isolates from river Ganga, Varanasi, India
The present study was focused on the isolation of multiple metal tolerant and antibiotics resistant bacterial strains from water samples of five different Ghats of river Ganga, Varanasi, India. These strains were biochemically characterized and their phylogenetic relatedness was assumed using amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis fingerprinting and 16S ribosomal gene sequencing. The pres...
متن کاملLeachate characterization and identification of dominant pollutants using leachate pollution index for an uncontrolled landfill site
Landfill leachates are potential threats for environmental degradation. This study was conducted to determine the leachate quality, to identify the dominant pollutants and to evaluate the leachate pollution potential of an active and closed dumping ground of an uncontrolled municipal solid waste landfill site in Kolkata, India using leachate pollution index. The results of the physico-chemical ...
