Abstract: | In this paper limnological status of river Suswa was observed for a period of two years. A water quality Beck modified Khanna
Bhutiani model (BMKB model) was developed to calculate DO (dissolved Oxygen) and BOD (biochemical oxygen demand). The model
was developed to calculate DO and BOD by using DO/BOD of same place and upstream in previous season which results in Single
output. This model gives the seasonal value on the basis of previously taken upstream and downstream observations/concentrations
of DO and BOD. The model was calibrated and verified for the water quality data (Physico-chemical data) of samples collected
from river Suswa in different seasons. The model gave good agreement between data observed by it and the data observed manually,
thus substantiating the validity of the model. Only minor differences were observed in physical, chemical and heavy metals
of all the four sampling stations during the course of study. |
