ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF NARMADA RIVER WATER QUALITY AT SANDIA TO HOSHANGABAD & PHOTO DEGRADATION BY NANO-CATALYST ZNO

In Madhya Pradesh, water is dependent on Narmada River for agriculture, fisheries and other water related works, due to which we can say that the area of ​​current research is Narmada River, in which the physical and chemical observation of the water effect of Narmada River is to be done so that the water of the river can be controlled. The quality of water and the pollution in it are known. Various physico-chemical parameters, including temperature, pH, turbidity, total hardness, alkalinity, DO, BOD, COD, chloride, fluoride, phosphate, nitrate, iron, copper, coliform, were analyzed in the samples, which were taken from five distinct locations. Every parameter is determined using the standardized APHA and BIS and WHO approach. The cause of pollution in Narmada River is sewage which is dumped in Narmada River in large quantities which affects the water quality. The indices from all the places show that the river water is getting polluted rapidly which will result in the river becoming polluted. water will not be potable.The photo catalytic degradation process is an advanced process which is giving a new dimension to water purification (90% to 95%) and protecting the environment as eco-friendly process.
