Rivers are the source of freshwater for any urban community and hence, monitoring river water is an obligatory yet challenging task. This study was conducted in a subtropical India with view developing quantitative approach to assess its quality (WQ) status. For purposes this study, samples were collected from five locations across Mahananda River main streams encompassing both urbanised non-ur...

The water quality of bodies in Huasteca Potosina was assessed by the National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NFS WQI) depending on nine parameters include physical, chemical, and biological properties. obtained at sampling site 50-90 NSF-WQI range shows medium quality. Results revealed that Moctezuma River Tanquian de Escobedo has low with a score 50, Tancuilin Axtla Rivers have goo...

Egypt is one of the most vulnerable countries to the potential impacts and risks of climate change. More than 95 % of the water budget of Egypt is received from the River Nile, which is very sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. Aswan High Dam (AHD) reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, is almost the sole source of freshwater to the country; hence, Egypt reali...

Present work is aimed at assessing Water Quality Index (WQI) for groundwater of Upper Pincha Basin, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh. This has been carried out by collecting groundwater samples and subjecting them to comprehensive physico-chemical analysis. Results obtained were compared with standard values recommended by WHO for drinking and public health. For computing WQI, eleven parameter...

In the face of ongoing anthropogenic climate change, river water quality assessment has become increasingly important for maintaining ecological balance and supporting local downstream livelihoods. This research aims to create a new index (WQI) assess in Andean highlands (>2000 m.a.s.l.) change adaptation mitigation. We examined physicochemical bacteriological parameters benthic macroinverte...
