Abstract
This study on water quality assessment in Upper Godavari River basin (India) was conducted for a period of one year between 2018 and 2019. An Overall Index of Pollution (OIP) was applied to assess the water quality to determine the water quality. Water samples were collected for post Monsoon season June to September. Physical and chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, sulphate, and chloride were investigated for three selected sites. As a result, the OIP values of different sites explains that water quality of Upper Godavari River basin was observed between ‘slightly polluted’ to ‘polluted’. Therefore, surface water quality of upper Godavari basin within the urbanized area and industrial area had high OIP score, and it required urgent management for the mitigation for the ecological sustainability and protection of aquatic life.
