  Abstract
  The present study was carried out for a period of one year from January 2015 to December 2015 to enumerate the various Physico-chemical parameters and pollution in river Kshipra at Ujjain. During the study observe much fluctuation in river in one year period. Drinking water quality of river is imperishable due to very high range record of BOD and least strength seen of DO other physico-chemical parameter like TDS, TS, turbidity nitrate and sulphat are very unbalance, because polluted water are mix in river major resource of pollution is sewage or municipal west of Ujjain city.

  Abstract
  The aim of paper is to analyze the physicochemical properties of waste water of Bathinda, Punjab (India). Now Bathinda is the well developed industrialized city in Punjab. Bathinda is the hometown of Thermal Power Plant, Ambuja Cement Factory, National Fertilizer Limited (NFL), chemicals, and dyes industries etc. These industries consume large quantity of water. Waste water discharged from these industries into natural water bodies; contaminate ground water, surface water and the soil of nearby fields. Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) like World Health organization (WHO), Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) set the permissible limits for the discharge of waste water into natural water bodies. The physicochemical parameters studied were color, odor, pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Solids (TS), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), calcium and chlorides. Heavy metals studied were arsenic, cadmium, chromium, nickel, and lead which enter into the food chain and cause various diseases in humans and animals. From overall analysis it was observed that the waste water is highly contaminated and showed wide variations in physicochemical parameters. In the present paper an attempt has been made in physicochemical characterization of waste water to check the pollution level. The result of present research pointed out the need of some cheap remedies to treat the waste water so that it can be reused/recycled.

  Abstract
  Air, water, land, flora and fauna are the natural resources of the earth. Water is vitally important substance. It is the medium, which gave birth to first primitive living molecules. The role of planktonic organisms in aquatic environment is an essential link in the food chain and they are capable of affecting the entire aquatic biota. For the study of water quality, the limnological observation is needed. As the living organisms found in water are reliable indicators of water quality. Most of the organisms are being extensively used as indicators of water pollution. The biological indicators provide a direct clue and quick information of the aquatic systems. In present study, the zooplankton of the River Kavery was studied for a period of one year. It deals with the total zooplankton diversity and seasonal variation of river Kavery. The qualitative samples observed from the study site showed an annual species diversity of 48 species. Out of 4809 species belonged to Protozoa, 15 to Rotifera, 16 to Cladocera , 06 to Copepoda and 02 to Ostracoda .The maximum zooplankton species(45) were recorded in summer 2009 and the minimum species diversity (31) occurred in the winter season 2008-09 at the study site of river Kavery. The rich diversity of plkankton in River Kavery may be due to sufficient nutrients present in the river.
