Abstract
Dahisar river is one of
the important River of Western Suburban of Mumbai in Dahisar with total
catchment area of 3488 Hectares with annual rainfall 1685mm. Fields
observations indicated that the river also suffered from dumping of Debris from
construction activities, industrial wastes on the banks and disposal of other
waste matter. Ingress encroachments on the bank as well as modification of
River course and local diversion of streams have compounded by the risk of
flooding. The path of Dahisar River has narrowed due to large number of human
Settlements throwing waste matter in river. In this study, we have evaluated
the water quality of Dahisar River at different localities in Mumbai. The
present study evaluates the pollution status and its impact on the biological,
chemical and physical Parameters of the soil, water and meiofauna of the
Dahisar river. This research will help to draw the attention of environmental
concerned bodies which will help to regain the fresh condition of the Dahisar
river and will improve the health status of the locals near the Dahisar River,
Dahisar, Mumbai.
