Patil Satish S, Ghorade Ishwarb

Abstract :

Survey of Godavari river water in Maharashtra state is carried out to know the present status of water and its quality, pollution, manmade construction and other activities in Godavari river valley. Identification of human intervention is carried out after selecting location for biological monitoring was done. Assessment of river water bodies with reference to species diversity of flora and fauna including micro inverteates, benthos and avifauna was done in three different seasons summer, monsoon and winter. The seasonal study knows the impact of lotic environment on the diversity of flora and fauna in different species of enrich its wild population. Godavari river water pollution invariably altered the water quality, inturn influencing biogeochemical cycles, diversity, biomass and overall tropodynamics.
