Gomati

 

Ø  The water quality downstream of Mohan Meakens in river Gomati was below B quality DBU with DO values <5.0 and BOD values >3.0 upto Ganga ganj.  The DO levels slightly increased downstream at Sultanpur and Jaunpur however the BOD values remained in range 4.1 to 4.3.

Ø  During 2010 the BOD values in the entire stretch remained above 3.0 mg/l indicating no improvement in water quality.

 

The projects on Gomti have not been completed so far.  Therefore, it is not possible to evaluate the impact.  But the pollution in the cities has been increasing.  Therefore, worsening of the parameters is expected.
