The rapid growth of human population, urbanization, and industrialization have stimulated the over-extraction of water from the freshwater sources (e.g., river, lakes) for various purposes of the daily demands of a comprehensive study of WQ assessment using long term data of physiochemical and biological parameters has not been reported in the upstream of the river Ganga. The long-term study estimates the WQ of river Ganga based on the physiochemical parameters at the five upstream locations of Uttarakhand, India using CPI, PCA, and HCA to categorize the WQ into different classes for understanding the hydrochemistry and cluster of similar water quality status. ./cache/cord-353087-nxjfbo0h.txt ./txt/cord-353087-nxjfbo0h.txt
