| Abstract | The concentration and distribution of selected metals were studied in the bed sediments of Subarnarekha River to assess the spatial and temporal variations and to determine the extent of anthropogenic inputs into the river. Bed sediments were collected from 21 locations for post-monsoon, pre-monsoon, and monsoon seasons. After acid digestion, they were analyzed for metals using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and assessed with index of geoaccumulation (I $_{geo}$), enrichment factor (EF) value, concentration factor (CF), and pollution load index (PLI). Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to better comprehend the controlling factors of sediment quality. Considering all the seasons, the average concentrations of Fe, Cu, Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni, Zn, Co, and Ba in mg kg$^{−1}$ was found to be 27,828 ± 12,772, 71 ± 59, 105 ± 78, 76 ± 62, 770 ± 489, 45 ± 28, 105 ± 47, 15 ± 6, and 738 ± 443, respectively. The I $_{geo}$, EF, CF, and PLI indices showed that the contamination of Pb and Cu was more serious than that of Ni, Zn, Co, and Ba whereas the presence of Fe, Mn, and Cr might be primarily from natural sources. The metal concentrations were in general higher in the pre-monsoon season; however, some of the metals were observed to be higher in the monsoon season. PCA outcome of three factors explained that 82.7 % of variance indicated both innate and human activities as contributing factors of metal profusion in Subarnarekha River. The overall study reveals moderately serious contamination of the sediments with metals in the Subarnarekha River predominantly in some locations under the anthropogenic influences like mining and industries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
