Water quality parameters of River Jindi at District Charsadda, KPK, Pakistan
Abstract
A study on the fish fauna and water quality parameters of River Jindi at Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan was conducted, with an aim to determine fresh records of water quality variables from March to July, 2017.During this study the mean values recorded for physico- chemical parameters were water temperature 24.8°C, pH 7.4, Water flow 0.50 m/s, Air temperature 32.4°C, Depth 1 m, TDS 109 mg/l, TSS 92 mg/l alkalinity 126.8 mg/l,. All these values were within the limits prescribed by the standard methods for the examination of water, sewage and industrial wastes.
