ABSTRACT
Water plays major function in biodiversity protection hence there is a need to conserve it. Godavari River carries the special religious importance in India. The reliability of an aquatic ecosystem can be accessed through the physico-chemical parameters and plankton structure in water. The sampling stations were selected along the Godavari estuary and water samples are collected for analysis by the standard methods. In this study Water Quality was determined on the basis of 10 parameters like Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Chlorophyll- a, Temperature, Transparency, salinity, Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia and Phosphates. The pollution level over a period of time is growing on the river water mainly due to industrial and other waste waters are discharged directly in to the river. The main objective of the study is to examine the water quality of the Godavari River and to evaluate the impact of such contaminated water on aquatic organisms.
