Pollution and sanitary quality of river Narmada in relation to human use at Mandla.
Study of physico-chemical characteristics and indicator bacterial population of Narmada river water at six different sites during summer, revealed extremely poor microbiological sanitary quality for human use. Free CO2 was found to be absent from all the sampling sites studied which indicates the trophogenic activity in the river water at Mandla. BOD value ranged from 1.0 to 2.5 mgl-1 and were less than the permissible limits of BOD in fresh waters i.e. 3-6 mgl-1.
