Water Quality status of Different Ghats of River Ganga in Patna Urban Area

The Ganga is a river and a representation of morality and purity for the people of India. From a geographical perspective, it is also India's main river. A significant part of Patna's population used ganga water for a variety of uses, including domestic, agricultural and industrial. This study aims to evaluate the Ganga River's water quality for different Ghats of Patna urban area from Digha to Gai Ghat. Samples of water were taken from 15 distinct Ghats. The biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of water have significantly changed as a result of heavy municipal waste discharge and anthropogenic activities in the river. All of the Ghats were classified as unfit for drinking purposes, and it was suggested that water be made available only after thorough treatment. People's habitual usage of Ganga water for various purposes raises the potential of human health hazards.
