River water was assayed in the city of Allahabad. Amongst the parameters used were BOD, DO, pH, conductivity and heavy metals, viz., Cu, Cd, Cr, Fe, Zn, Pb, Ni, Mn. Site specific water samples were collected from the ghats of Ganga, Yamuna, Sangam and subjected to analysis. Physico-chemical characteristics of the water samples indicated a lower level of pollution in the water of Yamuna river whereas the confluence (Sangam) was found to be most polluted.
