Hydrogeochemical characterization and ecological risk screening of heavy metals in the Bagmati River, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Puntos clave

This study aims to characterize the hydrogeochemical properties of the Bagmati River and assess the ecological risks posed by heavy metals.
Analyzed water samples from Bagmati River during the dry season.
Measured physicochemical parameters and heavy metal concentrations using flame atomic absorption spectrometer.
Identified potential sources of heavy metals and evaluated associated ecological risks.
Identified elevated levels of heavy metals indicating significant ecological risk.
Concentrations of heavy metals exceeded safe limits, impacting local water quality.
Potential sources of pollution linked to urban runoff and industrial discharge.

Resumen

The key characteristics of physicochemical parameters, their possible sources, and the extent of potential ecological risks posed by heavy metals in the core urban area of the Bagmati River, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, were studied through the proxy screening of the river water in dry season. Heavy metals were analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectrometer. The concentrations of NO
