Physico-chemical characteristics of water in water sources undergo changes due to

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Aquatic macrophytes, aquatic fungi are natural organism and evapotranspiration is a natural process by which plant losses water. Thus being natural they do not results into any change in physico-chemical characteristics of water while effluents discharged into water bodies by industrial units and domestic sewage results in to change in physico-chemical characteristics like pH, conductivity, temperature, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, NH₄⁺ and NO₃^- ion contents etc.
