Abstract

The case study was conducted in 2014 to assess the physico-chemical properties of the water from the Gorai river in Kushtia, Bangladesh. To conduct this research, six samples from six points were collected from surface water of this river that covered only the Kushtia town. Samples were collected from Charulia, Barokhada, Jugia, Kamlapur, Thanapara and Ghoshpara at 1km interval.
