The river Salandi enters the river Baitarani in Akhandalmani, the Tinitar Ghat, after passing via Hadagada dam, Agarpada, and Bhadrak town. The trip collects forest runoff, untreated and semi-treated mining wastes, agricultural wastes, Ferro Alloys Corporation (FACOR) industrial wastes, and urban wastes. In the summer (April and May), rainy (August), post-rainy (October), and winter (December) of 2015, water samples were collected from nine different locations and physicochemical and bacteriological parameters were analysed using established methods. The water quality index (WQI) of a river was calculated using the weighted arithmetic index method. Over the course of a year, Salandi calculated the mean values of twelve key parameters. Water quality varies by monitoring station, with good water quality at Hadagada Dam, Satabhauni, and Dhusuri, poor water quality at Akhandalmani & very poor water quality at Bidyadharapur, very poor and unfit for drinking water at Agarpada, Randia (FACOR), and Baudpur, and river water of class 'C' at Rajghat, according to the water quality index (WQI). After going through Bhadrak town, the river is clean. Pollutants are stabilised as a result of dilution and natural processes.
