This study was aimed to screen the water quality of Ganga River in Haridwar city, Uttarakhand, India. The study was conducted based on their water source, origin of pollution such as utilisation by human and animals. Monthly changes in physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Temperature, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Solids, Total Suspended Solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Dissolved oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Volatile Suspended Solids were analyzed for a period of two year from January 2010 to December 2011.The results of this study reveal the status of water quality of Ganga River it may helpful to protect the water resources and create awareness about the water pollution among the people living around the city. The results indicated that physico-chemical parameters of the water were within the permissible limits.
