Abstract :

Godavari River worshiped as holy Dakshin Ganga which origin in Nashik District at Trambekshwar and flows through most of the part of Maharashtra, as lifeline of the region and flourishes the floral and faunal diversity. Study of physicochemical parameter is the litmus paper test to know the health of aquatic water body. Water samples were collected from Kopargaon Tahasil during the period of one year from June 2013 to May 2014. Here with the study of physicochemical parameter we come to know the health of freshwater ecosystem at Kopargaon Tahasil, District Ahmednagar. Aim of the present investigation is to find out the pollution level of water due to increased anthropogenic activities in the region as the river water utilizes for drinking, irrigation, industrial and several domestic purpose.
