The self purification process at Ekulu river was studied. The oxygen balance was monitored over a distance of and the sag point located. Deoxygenating rate, physical characteristics and the reaeration rate of the river, were determined. Results of the analysis yielded an f-value or purification coefficient which classified the river portion as one with high self recovery characteristics.
