Study of physico-chemical parameters of water of IB River, Jashpur, Chhattisgarh, India

Ib is an important river of Jashpur district (C.G.). Two sampling station viz., station 1 Dhondidand and station 2 Dhondibahar, were established for the collection of water samples during July 2012 to Oct 2012. Monitoring of water of river Ib includes physico-chemical parameters and analysis of iron and copper metal. The temperature was 18.20C to 24.60C, pH of river water ranges from 7.12 to 7.85, Turbidity ranging between 11 NTU to 14 NTU, Conductivity ranged from 50 μs/sec to 55 μs/sec, Alkalinity was 7mg/l to 11 mg/l. TDS ranged from 32 mg/l to 44mg/l. TSS was 18 mg/l to 38 mg/l, DO ranged from 4.1 mg/l to 4.7mg/l, BOD was 9 mg/l to 17 mg/l, COD was 27 mg/l to 44 mg/l, Iron ranging between 0.03mg/l to 0.9mg/l and copper was <0.0l mg/l to <0.01 mg/l. In the paper the result of 4 month study are presented.
