Abstract Water quality monitoring procedures effective in calibrating the QUAL2E model for the Kali River in India are described. The stability of dry season conditions for the Kali River are utilized to consider the migration pathways, and hence the calibration efforts necessary for water quality models. Alternative procedures for calibrating values for the reaction rates are utilized for reinforcement of the findings. These alternatives include changes in stream turbidity which are shown to be a useful measure of benthic oxygen demand. Ratios of BOD5 to COD are reported between sugar mills, industrial inputs and municipal sources.
