Water pollution has become a major environmental challenge globally. The aim of the study was to assess water quality of untreated wastewater collected from Sewage treatment plant, Bhattian in district Ludhiana, Punjab (India). Laboratory analysis of collected samples was performed for analysing various physico-chemical water parameters such as water temperature (WT), hydrogen ion concentration (pH), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), alkalinity and free carbon dioxide (FCO2) by using standard methods recommended by APHA. Significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences were observed in the values of different variables (WT, FCO2, BOD and alkalinity) during different seasons.
