River pollution analysis and finding water quality index

The degree of treatment or treatment efficiency of wastewater treatment plant depends primarily on the condition and best usage of the receiving stream. Work is carried out here for a city which is one of the highly industrialized cities and has number of small and medium scale textile units scattered all over the city. This city has waste water treatment plant which treats the waste water and dispose the effluent in the river. Last few years the river is facing lot of pollution problems. It is necessary to study the river assimilation capacity, possible modifications to the treatment efficiency of waste water treatment plant by studying river pollution parameters. Computer programming shall be used to study the effect of different parameters on pollution treatment efficiency. Present book deals with one of such approach; prime aim of which is having to find the sensitivity of river pollution parameters. This book also involves calculating Water Quality Index (wqi) of the river water.
