The catchments of the Karnafully and its allied streams cover 5,500 (14,000 sq km) square miles. Water samples were collected from Karnafully River along different points and analyzed for various physiochemical parameters during winter. Effects of industrial wastes, municipality sewage and agricultural runoff on the river water were investigated. The study was conducted between the Kaloorghat Bridge and Patenga estuary including Chittagong port. This is the most polluted area due to the presence of many chemical fertilizers, iron, leather and pharmaceutical industries. All these industries discharge their untreated toxic waste water directly into the river Karnafully. The study involved determination of physical and chemical parameters of surface water at different points. The mean values of water temperature, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), total solids (TS), t...

It is taking place at a faster pace in the less developed countries of the world like Bangladesh. The implication of such urbanization are manifested in mass poverty, gross inequality, high unemployment, crowded housing, proliferation of slums and squatters, deterioration in the environmental condition, highly inadequate supply of water, over crowding in schools and hospitals, increase in traffic jams, road accidents, crimes and social tensions. These features are the characteristics of nearly all urban centers of Bangladesh. The study has endeavored to analyze both the factual status and the perceptual pattern of the environmental quality of Chittagong Metropolitan City. The factual data have been collected from various secondary sources; while the perceptual data are based on a questionnaire survey of opinions of 492 respondents at the household level by city ward. Finally, it has been statistically justified by the use of a satisfaction index ...
