Evaluation of seasonal variations in physicochemical parameters of Taleghan River, northern Iran

Abstract

In this study an experiment on water quality of Taleghan River between August 2008 and July 2010 was conducted. Twenty four samples from 6 stations along the river were taken monthly. Parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, BOD5, COD, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium and orthophosphate rates were considered in order to determine the water quality. Results show that there is no serious problem regarding the parameters checked in this study. So, the water can be used as drinking water for Tehran city without any serious problem.
