Evaluation of Pollution Status: River Karola Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, India | Chapter 2 | Challenging Issues on Environment and Earth Science Vol. 9

 Because the River Karola is the primary river of Jalpaiguri, determining its pollution condition is crucial. The goal of the project was to determine the degree of pollution in the River Karola in order to prevent pollutant contamination. pH, Phosphate, Chloride, Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen, Turbidity, Conductivity, Alkalinity, Total Dissolved Solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Temperature, Total Hardness, and Total Solids were among the physicochemical characteristics that were measured. Water samples were taken at three locations along the River Karola in Jalpaiguri Town and analysed. The experimental results were compared to WHO's standard limits. The findings revealed that some physicochemical parameters are within the WHO's guideline, while others are over it. Nitrogen was primarily prevalent in the River Karola during the dry season. Because the water is unsafe for human consumption and the environment, the significant findings of the river advise source protection of the water bodies for the benefit of mankind.
