4、d to find out the pollution situation of Turag river and the healthproblem of the surrounding residents. The results clearly determine that the water quality of Turag rivermay not be in a position to sustain the aquatic

5、life and not suitable for using domestic purpose. This isindicated by the very low dissoloved oxygen (DO) levels and other measured parameters in the river. Themaximum recorded values of pH, color, turbidity, biochemical

6、 oxygen demand (BOD5), hardness, totaldissolved solids (TDS), chloride (Cl-), carbon-di-oxide (CO2) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were7.1 mg/L, 625 ptcu, 97.2, 4.65 mg/L, 1816 mg/L, 676mg/L, 5 mg/L, 15.5, and 78 mg/L,

10、esources, and is critical for the survival of all living organismsincluding human, food production, and economic development. Today there are many cities worldwide facing anacute shortage of water and nearly 40 percent o

11、f the world’s food supply is grown under irrigation and a wide varietyof industrial processes depends on water. The environment, economic growth, and developments are all highlyinfluenced by water-its regional and season

12、al availability, and the quality of surface and groundwater. The quality ofwater is affected by human activities and is declining due to the rise of urbanization, population growth, industrialproduction, climate change a

13、nd other factors. The resulting water pollution is a serious threat to the well-being ofboth the Earth and its population.Bangladesh is a deltaic land created and flown over by numerous rivers; the land is also consisten

14、tly nourishedby their water flows. Pollution of river bodies has become a major problem that is becoming critical because ofinadequacy or non-existence of surface water quality protection measures and sanitation. Lagoons
