Description :
Satara district has a rich network of rivers and rivers provide us water for drinking and agricultural purposes. The present investigation deals with the physico-chemical parameters of Krishna and Venna rivers to investigate the quality of river water. The physico-chemical parameters of Krishna and Venna rivers such as pH, temperature, hardness, total dissolved solids, phosphate, nitrate, chloride, alkalinity, DO, CO2 were observed and analyzed from August 2012 to July 2013 at every month. The physicochemical parameters of river Krishna such as pH, temperature, nitrate, hardness, chloride, TDS are within permissible limit of WHO and parameters such as alkalinity, phosphate, DO, CO2 are exceeded the recommended limit of WHO. While all the physicochemical parameters except phosphate of river Venna are within the recommended limits of WHO.
