Write a note on Biological Oxygen Demand (B.O.D.).
Biological oxygen demand (B.O.D.) represents the amount of dissolved oxygen which is required for bacteria in decomposing the wastes. It is a measure of pollution of water. The BOD test helps to predict a drop in dissolved oxygen levels in natural wastes. Clean water has very low BOD value whereas organically rich water has very high BOD value.
