River Dhamola, an important river of Saharanpur flowing through the districts of Western Uttar Pradesh, is subjected to varying degree of pollution caused by numerous untreated and/or partially treated waste inputs of municipal and industrial effluents. The present study has been carried out with the objective to examine variation in water quality characteristics within the river system, and to establish water quality-quantity relationships to provide a proper basis for establishing water quality objectives by collecting water sample from three different locations of the river and their WQI was determined from various physico-chemical parameters during rainy, winter and summer seasons. It is found that this water body is not suitable for drinking and irrigation purpose, so possible remedial methods should be adopted for this water resource for improving its quality. In this study Water quality Index was determined on the basis of various physicochemical parameters like pH, temperature, turbidity, color, TDS, calcium hardness, total hardness, alkalinity, total suspended solid, magnesium hardness, chloride, DO and BOD.
