Gomti River, Water quality, Water resourcesAbstract
The Gomti River provides millions of people with their means of life but the endless needs of people and their actions have degraded the purity the Gomti River. The physicochemical properties of water from the Gomti River were investigated in this study using special attention to heavy metals River water's characteristics analysis showed that most of its length it is not drinkable Most Gomti River research sites show a reduced degree of oxygen in solution Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values reveal serious problems with aquatic ecosystems and human health. There are several entry points for various heavy metals, some of which are dangerous, into the river itself Water quality is declining due to increasing industrialization, urbanization, dumping of electronic waste, effluent discharge, and sewage deterioration. Given that contaminants tend to congregate in the river's lower reaches this evaluation reveals the river's pollution issue further downstream. Restoring the Gomti River's water quality is an urgent matter that requires immediate attention.
