Estimation of Physico-chemical Index and Restoration Measures: a Case Study of Noon River in Kanpur Nagar, India
Summary
This study assessed the physico-chemical water quality of the Noon River in Kanpur, India, finding significant anthropogenic degradation and calling for regular monitoring and community-based pollution control measures to restore ecological balance.
Rivers play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting local communities and livelihoods. However, increasing anthropogenic pressures have significantly impacted river water quality. This study explores the water quality of the Noon River in Kanpur District, Uttar Pradesh, by analyzing its physico-chemical parameters. The study highlighted the urgent need for regular water quality monitoring and pollution control measures to restore the river's ecological balance. It also emphasizes community participation and sustainable practices to maintain the flow of the river. These findings will provide valuable insights to policymakers to implement effective river conservation strategies, ensuring the long-term health of the river and the well-being of local communities.
