Abstract:
The purpose of this research is based on the investigation of the water samples from Mithi River
and sediments from its banks. The objective of the study was to determine the transfer of the
pollution from the Mithi River to its adjacent bank soils. This investigation was carried out
using several tests, which included pH, DO, Alkalinity, Chlorides, T.S.S (Total Suspended
solids), T.D.S (Total Dissolved solids), C.O.D, B.O.D, and heavy metals present in Mithi river
etc. The tests conducted on water samples of Mithi River and soil, Samples collected from the
various locations. This was assessed through the test mentioned above. The result of the test
indicates the water quality related environmental problems, it is must to have accurate
information and to know precisely what the problem is, where it is occurring, how serious it is,
and what is causing it. Such information is necessary for determining cost effective and lasting
solutions to water related problems.
However, further investigations are highly recommended and should be carried out to
understand further effects of pollution on Mithi River and its soil sediments.
