With an increase in population and accelerated pace of industrialization, water quality is going to degrade day by day.
The main source of water in India is rivers. The Ganga River Basin is the world’s most populated and is home to half of
India’s population, including two-thirds of the nation’s poor. This paper highlights the utility of statistical techniques for
evaluating, interpreting complex data sets and recognizing spatial differences in water quality for effective management of river
water quality.
