The purpose of this study was to determine the current state of water in the Gomti River along the Lucknow stretch. Physio-chemical characteristics, levels of organic materials, various heavy metals and sewage pollution and their variation have been studied from top to bottom over Lucknow, and the study shows that water quality from Gaughat to Gomti barrage has deteriorated due to discharge of untreated waste from about 26 major drains throughout its course. The water of Gomti river of Lucknow i.e. Gaughat showed minimum pH 7.55 and maximum pH 8.58 of mohanmeakin, minimum dissolved oxygen 1.7 mg/lit of Parag factory and maximum 4.0mg/lit of kudiyaghat minimum TDS is 357.5 mg/lit in ghaughat and maximum 620 mg/lit in parag factory, minimum arsenic 0.029 mg/lit kudiyaghat and maximum 0.079 mg/lit in daligaunj and chloride minimum 3.059 mg/lit in Gaughat and maximum 88.157mg/lit in pakkapul. But due to presence of 26 drains the dissolved oxygen level decreases with its stretch and showed minimal DO at Laxmanamela Park.
