Abstract

Godavari is the second largest river in India. It originates from Triambakeswar, Nashik, Maharashtra and finally discharges into the Bay of Bengal near Narasapuram in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. The study covers about 39 km of river starting from Gangadwar to Dasak village. Five locations were selected for collection of water samples from the river and water samples were analysed for water quality parameters. It was observed that untreated or partially treated sewage along with industrial wastewater is entering into the river at five prominent locations in the study stretch. Based upon the results, the existing conservation measures have been reviewed and additional measures are suggested. The study concludes that infiltration of sewage is the main precursor of Godavari river pollution and available sewage treatment facilities in the region are inadequate.
