Evaluating River Water Quality in India: A Focus on Samudrakoop, A Protected Monument

This study reviews the water quality of rivers at different religious and historical places in India and investigates the seasonal dynamics of algal communities and the associated water quality parameters in Samudrakoop, an ancient well located at an archaeological site in Prayagraj, India. The research evaluates the relationship between physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient levels) and algal diversity, providing insights into the well’s ecological health across different seasons. The findings reveal variations in algal communities and water quality, which are influenced by seasonal changes, anthropogenic activities, and the well's historical significance. The critical analysis of different research papers reveals anthropogenic activities as the main cause of degradation of water quality. This study offers valuable data for conservation efforts and the management of ancient water bodies.
