Summary The River Ganga is one of the most heavily populated river basins in Asia, and here, population growth and urbanization have been accompanied by water quality pollution and the consequent shortage of sanitary water. In this research, we conducted the field survey for water quality and measuring unit load generated from urban and rural areas on the River Yamuna Basin.
