Abstract
The influences of seasonal changes of water properties from Imphal River were investigated in four locations. A range of water quality variables were measured in the river over a period of 12 months. Four selected sites viz, Khonghampat, Heingang, Mahaballi and Kiyamgei were subjected to various anthropogenic activities, as they passed through the heart of the city. Water samples collected from four sites were analysed for pH, temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO). Free CO2, total chlorides, Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, NO3–N, PO4–P and K. The present results revealed that the investigated parameters were within the WHO permissible levels.
