River Water Quality Classification Guide

The document contains tables classifying water quality parameters like BOD, ammoniacal nitrogen, suspended solids, and water quality index into five classes ranging from clean to heavily polluted based on concentration ranges. It also contains a table classifying the river water quality status into clean, slightly polluted, and polluted based on index ranges for BOD, ammoniacal nitrogen, suspended solids, and overall water quality index.
