ABSTRACT
Bhagirathi river is the tributary river of Ganges. Pollution is commonly regarded as the resulted of the industrial revolution. By increasing industrial activity environmental quality of the area deteriorates.It is necessary to know details about the different physicochemical parameters and water samples were analyzed for various heavy metals like nickel, copper, lead, cadmium, chromium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and arsenic used for testing of water quality and is the special concern because they were produce water or chronic poisoning in aquatic animals. For the development planning of the river two main tools Remote sensing system and Geographic information systems were used in the present study.
