In this study, the water quality of the Ganga River was investigated, as well as the effect of lockdown on the physicochemical parameters of the river water in Bihar. The study's goal was to check the Ganges' water quality during the lockdown and assess the impact of the situation on the river's water quality, with a focus on a few areas in Bihar where domestic sewage, agricultural wastes, and air pollution affecting river water are thought to be the major sources of pollution. Both primary and secondary data were collected as part of the exploratory study strategy. In the months of March and April, primary data was obtained from the Ganges sampling stations of Digha (Patna), Arrah (Bhojpur), and Aami (Saran). pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Coliform (TC), and Faecal Coliform (FC) were all tested after the data was collected (FC). During the lockdown, the river's quality did not much improve. It is clear that, in comparison to non-industrial areas, industrial areas have seen a reduction in water pollution along the Ganga. Domestic garbage dumping did not stop and even increased in hygiene maintenance in non-industrial regions, therefore there was little improvement.
