ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted in Betwa River along a stretch of 40 kms from its origin to downstream of the river near Mandideep Industrial Area to assess the presence of selective heavy metals in the river water. The study reveals the presence of certain heavy metals in the water and also emphasises the need for strengthening the existing STPs and ETPs in the Mandideep Industrial clusters so as to prevent the degradation of water quality of the river due to intrusion of raw sewage and effluents from the adjacent domestic and industrial areas.
