Assessment of water quality of River Ganges during Kumbh mela 2010

In the present study the water quality of Ganga River was assessed during Maha Kumbh-2010.  River water samples were collected from five sites.  Various Physico-Chemical and microbiological parameters were analysed. It was observed that all parameters were within the permissible limit according to WHO (2009) and BIS (2004) except most probable number that is the indication of low sanitary condition and it can further lead to the outbreak of diseases. During this mass bathing two sites were found to be more affected than the other three sites. These were noted to Har-ki-pauri and Mayapur ghat at Haridwar, at these sites parameters are observed to be slightly raised in comparison to other three sites

Rain water harvesting

As we all know that about 70 percent of the earth is water but most part of the earth is ocean. Only 3% of total water available on earth is fresh water. Out of the three percent, only 1 percent is accessible as surface fresh water where as the rest 2 percent is locked away in the form of ice caps and glaciers in the polar regions. 1 percent water is regularly renewed by rain fall and other means and thus available on a sustainable basis and easily considered accessible for human use.</jats:p

A Theoretical Study of Dye-DNA Interactions : Aminobenz (C) Acridine

Using quantum mechanical methods, binding of 7-aminobenz (c) acridine with DNA fragments has been examined. An all valence electron method, CNDO/2, has been employed to compute molecular charge distribution while perturbation theory valid for medium range has been used to obtain the preferred sites. Contribution of different components of intermolecular forces involved in stabilizing the stacked complexes has been analysed. All possible binding complexes have been taken into account and an attempt has been made to explain the activity of the dye
