        abstract = {The Gandak River, a prominent tributary of the Ganga River, flows through various pollution-prone regions between Balmikinagar and Hajipur in Bihar. This study investigates the water quality of the Gandak River at selected pollution prone locations to evaluate the impact of anthropogenic activities on its physico-chemical parameters. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated to provide an overall assessment of water quality at each location.
The WQI values indicate that the water quality at most locations is not so bad. The study underscores the need for effective water management practices and pollution control measures to maintain the ecological integrity of the Gandak River. The findings emphasize the importance of regular monitoring, public awareness, and stringent regulations to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution on water quality and public health.},
