do-bod modeling of river ganga from devprayag to roorkee, india using bmkb model

the idea of systems analysis and mathematical modeling for formulating and resolving river pollution issues is of relatively recent vintage and has been applied widely in the last 3 decades. the present study illustrates the utility of beck-modified khanna–bhutiani model (bmkb) to determine the pollution load due to the presence of organic matter in river ganga from its course from devprayag to...

Assessment and Management of Ganga River Water Quality Using Multivariate Statistical Techniques in India

Multivariate statistical techniques, such as cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), were applied for evaluation of spatial variations and interpretation of large complex water quality data set of the Ganga river basin, generated during one year (2013-2014) monitoring of eight water parameters at seven different sites. Hierarchical cluster analysis grouped seven sampling sites ...

Status Paper for River Ganga

Estimating the value of improved wastewater treatment: the case of River Ganga, India.

In this paper we employ a stated preference environmental valuation technique, namely the choice experiment method, to estimate local public's willingness to pay (WTP) for improvements in the capacity and technology of a sewage treatment plant (STP) in Chandernagore municipality, located on the banks of the River Ganga in India. A pilot choice experiment study is administered to 150 randomly se...

Assessment of Spatial and Temporal Variations in Water Quality Dynamics of River Ganga in Varanasi
