    The document outlines water quality criteria established by the Central Pollution Control Board for different designated uses of water bodies. The criteria include limits for parameters like total coliforms, pH, dissolved oxygen, BOD and electrical conductivity depending on the class of water which could be used as drinking water sources, for outdoor bathing, propagation of wildlife, irrigation or industrial purposes. Water not meeting the criteria of classes A through E is designated as class F.
