Abstract

The normal flow of the Kangsabati River, famous for its reservoir at Mukutmanipur, has been practically stopped due to damming on a temporary basis particularly in middle and downstream stretches. Although there are no significant towns on the riverbanks, water is polluted by mixing of waste materials in the river water from the non-point sources. The pollution level of this river is determined in the category of priority IV for BOD concentration 6.4 mg/l of the surface water samples near Midnapore town.
