Abstract

To assess the magnitude of degradation of water of a rural pond near a temple, where fire crackers are every year exploded at the occasion of Dipawali and Chhath Puja in Bihar, the physico-chemical analysis was done before and after the festival. Water sample of the pond was collected and experiments like determination of total dissolved substances, the electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, presence of chlorides, sulphide, elements like magnesium, iron, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, calcium, nitrate etc. were analyzed per the standard methods mentioned in the book. For calculation of dissolved oxygen, water sample was fixed at the point of collection of water. Similarly, free carbon dioxide was also determined of pH was observed at the site of the pond. Findings of the present work clearly revealed that there were discrepancies in the data for all parameters selected for study. For study, before and next day of the festival where countless fire crackers were exploded at the bank. This indicated that the residues of the fire crackers formed after explosion. Finally cause down in the pond water along with the dew drops as this festival is celebrated in winter where dew formation takes place.
