Abstract

The present study focused on water quality assessment of Nullah Aik on various locations of districts Sialkot and Gujranwala, Pakistan. Samples of water from various locations of Nullah were collected in June (Pre-Monsoon) and September (post-Monsoon) in 2020. These samples were taken to the laboratory for assessment of various chemical parameters. Calcium found to be highly significant (p 0.001), total hardness, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) identified as significant (p 0.05) while other parameters i.e., total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, turbidity, Chlorine (Cl), nitrate (NO3), salinity, magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) revealed no significant (p0.05) co-relation. The results indicated that all the parameters had significant spatio-temporal variations during June due to low rain falls which as result higher contaminant concentrations. Whereas during September there were higher flooding due to monsoon rains, consequently the contaminants were found in diluted concentrations. It is concluded that natural as well as anthropogenic factors are responsible for surface water contamination.

巴基斯坦锡亚尔科特和古杰兰瓦拉地区不同地点的艾克明渠水质

本研究的重点是对巴基斯坦锡亚尔科特和古吉兰瓦拉地区不同地点的Aik明渠水质进行评价。2020年6月(季风前)和9月(季风后)在明渠不同地点采集了水样。这些样品被带到实验室进行各种化学参数的评估。钙含量显著(p < 0.001)，总硬度、化学需氧量(COD)和生物需氧量(BOD)显著(p < 0.05)，而其他参数如总溶解固形物(TDS)、电导率(EC)、pH、浊度、氯(Cl)、硝酸盐(NO3)、盐度、镁(Mg)、铁(Fe)、铅(Pb)和镉(Cd)无显著相关(p < 0.05)。结果表明:6月降水偏少，污染物浓度升高，各参数均有显著的时空变化;而在9月份，由于季风降雨，洪水泛滥，因此发现污染物浓度被稀释。结论认为，自然因素和人为因素都是地表水污染的原因。
