A semester-long internship was designed for undergraduate students at the University of Delhi, India. Teams comprising 30 from all over were trained to carry out field exploration activities on Yamuna River flowing in Delhi. The provided with portable kits measure physicochemical parameters a selected bank River. Students documented invertebrate fauna riparian zone banks. At same time, they not...

The river Yamuna is considered a crucial in the Indo-Gangetic plain. Having 0.4 Percent of catchment area National Capital Territory (NCT) Delhi, it feeds about 70 per cent population Delhi and hence, major source dependency for NCT Delhi. water quality monitoring River done by Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), on monthly basis.The objective study to investigate stretch, period 2003-2021. dat...

Since time immemorial, rivers have been the lifelines of billions worldwide. They provide fresh water for drinking, agriculture, bathing, and fulfill our various requirements. There is no life without water; hence, making sure that perennial flows remain unpolluted one man’s prime duties. On contrary, many industrial chemicals pollute resources are common in present times. The entire stretch Ya...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is often rooted in inappropriate antibiotic use, but poor water quality and inadequate sanitation exacerbate the problem, especially in emerging countries. An example is increasing multi-AR due to mobile carbapenemases, such as NDM-1 protein (coded by blaNDM-1 genes), which can produce extreme drug-resistant phenotypes. In 2010, NDM-1 positive isolates and blaNDM-1 ge...

The study was to characterize and understand the water quality of the river Yamuna in Delhi (India) prior to an efficient restoration plan. A combination of collection of monitored data, mathematical modeling, sensitivity, and uncertainty analysis has been done using the QUAL2Kw, a river quality model. The model was applied to simulate DO, BOD, total coliform, and total nitrogen at four monitor...
