Evaluation of water quality in river Indus at Pattan Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan
Abstract
The current research was conducted to explore the concentration of water quality of River Indus at Pattan site Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The chosen water quality parameters were Temp oC; pH; Dissolved Oxygen mg/l; Electrical Conductivity µs/cm; Total Alkalinity mg/l; Total Hardness mg/l; Chlorides mg/l and Total Dissolved Solids mg/l correspondingly. Some samples were analyzed on the fields like pH, Temperature, TDS, E.C and DO while Total Alkalinity mg/l; Total Hardness mg/l and Chlorides mg/l were examined by titration methods. Samplings were carried out on monthly bases. The results revealed that water quality parameters were consider suitable for irrigation, fish growth and survival.
