AbstractWater samples were collected monthly from nine sampling sites of River Churni of Nadia district, West Bengal for two annual years (2012-2013). A total of 216 samples were analyzed first to determine the values of each water quality parameters. Parameters viz., temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total hardness, total alkalinity, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total solid and total coliform were determined to understand the current status of water quality of the river. Correlations between physicochemical parameters were established by the use of Pearson correlation matrix (n) to determine the interrelationship between the parameters. Correlation coefficient values between these pollution indicator parameters were found to indicate good interrelationship between them.
