Different ages have witnessed localized growth. The degree of urbanization of a nation is generally defined as a proportion of the population resident in urban places. Kalimpong as a hill urban centre was developed later than the most hill stations in India. Kalimpong was nowhere on the map of India before 1865. Actually, the region of Kalimpong was originally a part of Sikkim from which it was taken over by Bhutan. Finally following a defeat in the Anglo- Bhutanese war in 1865 Bhutan handed over the tract to the British government of India in 1865. The trend of urbanization in Kalimpong was not same as the satellite town of Darjeeling rather Kalimpong civil station had a character of its own, totally different from the seasonal retreats by virtue of their social life, their good spirits and style.

While assessing water quality, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, biological oxygen demand (BOD), nitrate, fecal coliform, total coliform, and conductivity were taken into account. Samples were taken from three distinct locations along the river, and temporal data was collected from 2009 to 2016 to be analyzed using various statistical approaches. The majority of the parameters in our analysis surpassed the highest allowed standard value set by the CPCB. Especially the people of Siliguri are mostly captivated by river Mahananda to meet their needs for drinking and numerous household uses regularly, but the river's state is currently very poor due to several water pollution problems. The Physico-chemical properties of the Mahananda River are Miserable due to unpurified sewage, garbage, and rapid urbanization of the Siliguri municipal area. This glance gives a general overview of the present problems with water in the river adjacent area. This study may be the simplest way to communicate with the people and the policymakers.
