A Comparative Study of Seasonal Variability and Photocatalytic Impact on Water Quality of the Ayad River, Rajasthan
Abstract: This study examines seasonal fluctuation in Ayad River water quality, Rajasthan, India and compares the performance of titanium dioxide (TiO2)-mediated photocatalytic treatment under natural sunlight irradiance. Ayad River is a critical source of freshwater for domestic, agricultural and environmental purposes, which is increasingly stressed by urban runoff, industrial effluent and seasonality. As a follow-up to the above, water samples of four important water sources- Thurmadar, Subhas Nagar Bridge (Ayad), Kanpur …
