Abstract

Water samples from sampling sites were taken throughout the study period for analysis. Physical, chemical, and biological parameters such as Temperature(°C), turbidity (NTU), pH, Dissolved Oxygen mg/L (DO), Total Dissolved Solids mg/L (TDS), Total Suspended Solids mg/L (TSS), chlorides (mg/L), and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were examined once a month. Analysing a water sample using the well-known Water Quality Index (WQI) is one of the most efficient ways to describe water quality. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is used in the current study to express changes in physico-chemical parameters. Biological evaluation is a useful substitute for assessing the ecological quality since biological communities take into account the environmental consequences of water chemistry.
