Abstract

Survival and procreation of life on the planet is dependent on the water resources. Water being an unreplaceable vital resource sustains life of the species, ecological processes, agricultural and other developmental activities. A watershed is a natural structure for developing efficient utilization of precipitation that fluctuates spatially and temporally. Around 80% of untreated waste in the world is disposed from domestic and industrial sources which is creating a threat to living organisms. Different sampling sites were studied in Doon valley for a period of one year. Parameters chosen for the study are: Physicochemical parameters—pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness; Biological parameters—dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand; Bacterial pollution indicator parameters—total coliforms; Pesticides—Benzene hexachloride and endosulfan. According to the findings, there are significant deviations between different sites and parameters chosen. Water quality has been found to be unfit for use and extensively contaminated with various organic and inorganic pollutants at several locations. Effective management as well as awareness campaigns for water conservation are recommended.
