Abstract

Now-a-days water is being highly polluted with different harmful contaminants. Due to increased human population, industrialization, use of fertilizers and manmade activities made water more pollutant. So people are under tremendous threat due to sudden undersigned changes in the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of air, water and soil. Now it has been necessary to check the water quality regularly, as human population suffers from varied water borne diseases like diarrhea, jaundice, typhoid, etc. According to rough estimation more than 15 million deaths worldwide result annually from water borne infections. This paper deals with MPN Test and Physico-Chemical parameters analysis of Dori Pond Alnavar, Dharwad Tq./Dist., Karnataka, India. Monthly changes in MPN Test and Physico-Chemical parameters such as Water temp, pH, TDS, Electric conductivity, CO2, DO, Alkalinity, Chloride, Total Hardness, PO4, BOD and COD were analysed for period from May 2012 to April 2013. All parameters are within the permissible limit according to IS 10500-1991 except MPN Test (Bacteriological). MPN Test results are higher than the permissible limit according to IS 10500-1991.
