Abstract

In Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India, the Saryu River is revered as a sacred river. However, the quality of the water is declining as a result of human anthropogenic activities. The goal of the current study was to use established techniques to evaluate the quality of river water by analyzing bacterial populations and physicochemical characteristics with seasonal fluctuations. The majority of the physicochemical parameters, primarily pH, DO, BOD, and TDS, were found to be within the allowable levels that regulatory bodies had suggested. Other parameters, such as Alkalinity or Fluorite and chemical oxygen demand (COD), were marginally above the allowable limits. Microbial investigations revealed the existence of both fungal and bacterial communities. The rainy season has the highest bacterial concentration, followed by the summer and winter seasons. The results of this study may help with irrigation and drinking water quality monitoring throughout the year.
