Abstract

River Tunga flowing near Shivamogga City, receives waste water discharges from villages located on the bank of River and industries located along the stretch. The present study involves to determine the water quality index of polluted our selected stretch of River. Water samples were collected from different locations and analyzed for physical- chemical parameters like pH, Alkalinity, total hardness, Electrical Conductivity, Calcium ions, magnesium ions and total dissolved solids. All the physical and chemical parameters were compared with the standard Values of IS. These chemical and physical parameters substituted in the WQI equation. WQI facilitates a single numeric value that defines overall water quality for a definite location. The WQI of Tunga River in Shivamogga city vary from 50.38 to 85.48.
