Analysis of major pollutants in Hindon River tributary of yamuna and its bioremediation by microbial consortium

Abstract

newline The conservation of water quality of our water sources is crucial to maintain public health and serve all its designated best usages. Water quality is influenced by a wide range of pollutants coming from a various point and non-point sources. These pollutants along with the other parameters of water that affect the water quality can be used as indicators to assess the quality of water. The non-point sources are the major sources of surface water pollution and this form of pollution is difficult to quantify.
