To assess the water quality of river Ganga at foot hills of Garhwal Himalaya five sampling station have been selected in a long stretch of 125 Km from Devprayag to Roorkee. The investigation was carried out for a one year (2010-2011). In the present study of river Ganga its physio-chemical characteristicsviz temperature, turbidity, conductivity, total solid, BOD, COD, DO, Alkalinity, Acidity, Hardness, Chloride were done. A minor difference in all the physico-chemical parameters were observed in all the sampling station studied during the course of study.
