The study is aimed at assessing the river water quality parameter of the Ganga river at in Haridwar at Har ki Pauri. The importance of water for good quality/quantity crop growth is well known; it is one of the prime requirements for agricultural practices about which farmers have always been concerned. India is a land of farmers, and agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. Different samples were taken from different time and date in the Haridwar at Har ki Pauri place. This study revealed that pH value of river Ganga samples in the study area was in the range 6.69 to 7.9 and Conductivity of collected samples varies between 151.6 µS/cm to 198.9 µS/cm as well as TDS in the river Ganga of study area varies from 97 mg/l to 127 mg/L. It can be concluded that all the analyzed river water samples were having TDS less than 500 mg/l (acceptable limit). Total Hardness was found to be within 82-100 mg/l as CaCO3.Total hardness in 100% samples was found below 200 mg/l (acceptable limit). Total Alkalinity ranged from 8.9mg/l to 90mg/l and Chloride content in the collected samples was in the range of 0.8 to 2.10 mg/l which all exists in the permissible limits. There should be a great need of intercepting the sewage originating from the habitation of Haridwar and nearby area and routing it to a treatment plant before discharging in the river
