Paper Title
Impact of Adjacent Land Use, Infrastructure and Urbanization on Water Quality in a River from Headwater to Downstream

Abstract
Generally, the rivers originate as a pure and clean stream from headwater but are then affected by type of adjacent land use and increased human intervention as they flow downstream. The mixing of surface drainage, pollutants and waste waterfrom modified land use in in river basin result broadly in reduced quality of water and increased decay of aqua life. The concentration of pollutants and abundance/ richness of macroinvertebratecan be used to determine the impacts on stream quality throughout the course of flow. Keywords - localized Impact on river water quality, presence of pollutants, physical / chemical investigation of water quality, effects of abundance/ richness of macro-invertebrates.
