Water Quality Index of River Wan at Upstream
River Wan or Wanganga as it is often called, is an important tributary of River Godavari. It is principal source of water for drinking, irrigation and for industries situated in the vicinity in the Beed District of Maharashtra State. Anthropogenic activities are posing serious threat towards pollution of the riverian system. As a result, River Wan is not only serving as water resource, but acts as a sewer for municipal sewage, industrial effluents, and agricultural and urban run off. Because of multiple uses of the river water, river ecology has gained immense importance in recent years. It is, therefore, decided to study the physicochemical characteristics of the river at upstream at selected points. A simple comprehensive weighted arithmetic index method is used to assess overall quality of water for its intended use.
