Anthropogenic activities put remarkable pressure on the ecological conditions and
sustainability of many aquatic ecosystems. The present study was to understand the
impact of mass bathing during a short period (two months) on the various physicochemical
parameters of water quality and planktonic fauna and flora of the river Ganga at
Prayagraj. Dissolved Oxygen revealed sharp decline of oxygen in the downstream centre,
after mass bathing. Chemical Oxygen demand, Total Dissolved Solids, Chloride and
Specific Conductivity increased after every snan gradually. During mass bathing period
reduction in Bacillariophycae percentage and increase in Chlorophyceae was a prominent
feature. On the advancement of mass bathing, increases in the number of planktonic
groups as well as increase in number of taxa were recorded due to the increase in organic
nutrients owing to anthropogenic activities. Palmer algal genera organic pollution index
varied between 12 and 19 indicating medium pollution. COD was found to be
significantly different between before and after mass bathing.
