        abstract = {The current study was done to investigate the water quality of the Ganga River during the Kanwar Mela 2024, with a focus on physicochemical properties at Haridwar. Water samples were collected from four sites: Sapta Rishi Ghat (SRG), Har ki Pauri (HKP), Daksh Mandir (DM), and Pul Jatwara (PJ). The study examined a variety of physicochemical characteristics, including temperature, pH, turbidity, transparency, TS, TDS, dissolved oxygen, BOD, and chlorides. The current analysis revealed that mass bathing and religious activities had a substantial impact on the water quality of the Ganga River and contributed to its contamination during the Kanwar Mela 2024.},
