Abstract
Hydrobiological studies of Wainganga River were carried out for a period of one year from January 2023 to December 2023 from three different stations at Balaghat (M.P.). Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, calcium, carbon dioxide, BOD, alkalinity, chlorides, total hardness, and total dissolved solids were among the characteristics measured. These attributes were examined and contrasted with the benchmark values suggested by the World Health Organization and the Bureau of Indian Standards. The goal of the current study is to determine the Wainganga River's water quality at Balaghat. The findings showed that most of the indicators showed notable seasonal fluctuations; the water was determined to be hard, filthy, and unsuitable for fish, residential, and agricultural growth.
