The mixing of huge quantities of eroded materials from the upstream and middle stretches deteriorates the water quality of Shilabati River downstream. Along with such huge sediment load, discharge of untreated wastewater from both point and nonpoint sources results in the water of Shilabati River being unusable. Though water quality rating shows water in good conditions after calculation of water quality index still the river water is not to be prescribed for drinking, outdoor bathing, or other domestic purposes as the faecal coliform bacterial count is more than the permissible limit as standardized by the Central Pollution Control Board. Apart from the water conditions, Shilabati River is known for its geographical and historical importance

Abstract


The mixing of huge quantities of eroded materials from the upstream and middle stretches deteriorates the water quality of Shilabati River downstream. Along with such huge sediment load, discharge of untreated wastewater from both point and nonpoint sources results in the water of Shilabati River being unusable. Though water quality rating shows water in good conditions after calculation of water quality index still the river water is not to be prescribed for drinking, outdoor bathing, or other domestic purposes as the faecal coliform bacterial count is more than the permissible limit as standardized by the Central Pollution Control Board. Apart from the water conditions, Shilabati River is known for its geographical and historical importance
