Abstract
This paper focuses on the river water contamination with domestic and municipal sewage disposal, leaching of fertilizers, agricultural runoff and industrial effluents is becoming a common phenomenon. This release of waste water finally discharges to Pedhi River which may affect the characteristics of riverwater. A study was undertaken to monitor the water quality of Amba Nala Amravati city. Amba Nala is one of the major nala in the city. Study area of 24.13kms from wadali lake to pedhi riverwas selected and3 sampling stations were located. A laboratory study was conducted to monitor the physicochemical characteristics of water samples of Amba Nala for a period of eight months during August 2023 to March 2024. Then analysis was done for the parameters like pH, Turbidity, Dissolved oxygen, Biochemical oxygen demand, Total dissolved solids Total suspended solids, Temperature and Color, Chloride Content, Alkalinity and Hardness as per the standard methods given by CPCB. The Present research work shows that the water quality of Amba Nala is potentially deteriorated possibly due to increased artificial activities and improper release of domestic and commercial effluents in the nala. Wise planning and proper management are needed to protect river and dam water for sustainable utilization
