# Introduction

Industrial wastewater is a major contributor to water pollution, especially in rivers. The assessment
of industrial wastewater's impact on the water quality of rivers is crucial for effective water resource
management and protection of aquatic ecosystems. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive
overview of the methods used for the assessment of industrial wastewater on the water quality of rivers.
The review will integrate and synthesize research findings from various studies to identify key insights,
highlight knowledge gaps, and suggest potential future research directions.

# Assessment of Water Quality Based on Physicochemical and Biological Parameters

Suthar et al. (2010) conducted an assessment of the water quality of the Hindon River in India, focusing
on physicochemical and biological parameters. The study found that the river was slightly polluted with
NH3-N, TSS, COD, and NO3, while being extremely contaminated with PO4 and FC. These findings
highlight the presence of pollutants associated with industrial and urban wastewater in the river. The study
also identified factors contributing to water quality deterioration, including industrial and agricultural
activities, livestock farming, and erosion. It was concluded that the river water can be used for irrigation
with precaution, but extensive treatment is needed before using it for domestic purposes.

# Spatial Pollution Characteristics and Potential Polluted Risky Regions

Mokarram et al. (2020) investigated water pollution levels in the Honghe River watershed of China by
collecting water samples from 67 sampling sites. The study found that TP, NO2-N, and TN were the main
pollutants exceeding the standard of Category III. The use of Geo-statistical analysis and Geographical
Information System (GIS) allowed the identification of spatial pollution characteristics and potential
polluted risky regions. These findings provide valuable information for watershed water pollution control
and management.

# Temporal and Spatial Assessment of River Surface Water Quality

Phung et al. (2015) conducted a study in Can Tho City, a Mekong Delta area in Vietnam, to assess the
temporal and spatial variations in river surface water quality. The study employed multivariate statistical
techniques and GIS to analyze the water quality data. The findings revealed significant temporal and
spatial variations in water quality parameters, indicating the influence of industrial and agricultural

activities on the river's water quality. The study highlights the importance of considering temporal and
spatial variations in water quality assessment for effective management of river ecosystems.

# Water Quality Assessment Using Water Quality Index and Multivariate Statistical Techniques

Shil et al. (2019) conducted a water quality assessment of a tropical river using the Water Quality Index
(WQI) and multivariate statistical techniques. The study aimed to evaluate the overall water quality status
and identify the major pollution sources. The results showed that the river water quality was generally
poor due to the presence of pollutants such as dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, and total
coliform. The integration of WQI and multivariate statistical techniques allowed the identification of
pollution sources and the development of effective water quality management strategies.

# Remote Sensing Techniques for Monitoring River Plumes and Water Quality in the Great Barrier Reef

Devlin et al. (2015) reviewed remote sensing techniques used for monitoring river plumes and water
quality in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The study discussed the use of remotely-sensed satellite products,
in situ data, and hydrodynamic models to quantify the influence of river plumes on seagrass and coral
reef habitats in the GBR. The integration of these tools enables the exploration of the impacts of different
catchment management strategies on GBR water quality.

# Comparison of Water Quality Assessment Methods for Impaired River Systems

Ji et al. (2015) compared seven water quality assessment methods for the characterization and manage-
ment of highly impaired river systems. The study evaluated the performance of these methods in assessing
the water quality status of rivers and identifying pollution sources. The findings showed variations in
the accuracy and reliability of the different assessment methods. The study highlights the importance of
selecting appropriate assessment methods based on the specific characteristics of the river system under
investigation.

# Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Directions

Despite the valuable insights provided by the reviewed studies, there are still several knowledge gaps and
areas for future research. Some of the key gaps and directions for future research include:

1. **Effectiveness of different treatment methods**: Further research is needed to assess the effectiveness
of different treatment methods for industrial wastewater to reduce its impact on river water quality.
Comparative studies evaluating the efficiency of various treatment technologies can help identify the most

suitable approaches for different types of industrial wastewater.

2. **Long-term monitoring and assessment**: Long-term monitoring and assessment of water quality are
essential to understand the dynamics of pollution sources and their impact on river ecosystems. Future
research should focus on establishing long-term monitoring programs to track changes in water quality
parameters and identify emerging pollution trends.

3. **Ecological impacts of industrial wastewater**: Although the reviewed studies provide insights
into the physicochemical and biological impacts of industrial wastewater on river water quality, further
research is needed to understand the ecological impacts of these pollutants on aquatic ecosystems.
Ecological studies can help assess the effects of industrial wastewater on the biodiversity, abundance,
and health of aquatic organisms.

4. **Integration of advanced technologies**: The integration of advanced technologies, such as remote

sensing, GIS, and modeling, can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of water quality assessment methods.
Future research should focus on developing and validating integrated approaches that combine multiple
techniques to provide a comprehensive understanding of water quality dynamics in rivers impacted by
industrial wastewater.

In conclusion, the assessment of industrial wastewater's impact on the water quality of rivers is a complex
task that requires the integration of various methods and techniques. The reviewed studies highlight the
importance of considering physicochemical and biological parameters, spatial and temporal variations,
and the use of advanced technologies in water quality assessment. However, there are still knowledge
gaps and areas for future research, including the effectiveness of different treatment methods, long-term
monitoring and assessment, ecological impacts, and the integration of advanced technologies. Addressing
these gaps will contribute to the development of effective strategies for the management and protection
of rivers impacted by industrial wastewater.
