| Abstract | This work was undertaken to study various aspects of municipal
and industrial wastewater effluent to Ravi river (Lahore) , such
as existing river quality, water quality parameter s , water
quality index, pollution condition, assimilative capacity,.
classification and zoning of Ravi river a l on g 7 2 kilometer
stretch of Lahore city. A water quality model QUAL-II was used
for the analysis of collected data. A steady state simulation was
done for the 72 .Kilometer reach of Ravi river.
From this study it can be said that the existing river water
quality is good at upstream (Yar Pur village), and heavily
polluted at downstream during drought sea s o n . The existing BOD
load of the river is much below than the assimilative capacity
of the river. The quality of river water de graded as the municipa1
and industria1 waste inlets were introduce d along the reach.
To maintain the river quality for the beneficial uses , such as
irrigation, fish culture , recreation and public water supply at
Balloki) stream standards for Ravi river were proposed . To
achieve the proposed standards appropriate treatment methods were
suggested, on the basis of waste and river water qua1ity analysis
data. |
