The present study was carried out to assess the water quality and to determine water quality index (WQI) of Kagina River near Malkhed Village. This has been achieved by collecting water samples from Kagina River, the various physico-chemical characteristics were analysed. The WQI is calculated by considering the following Parameters i.e. pH, DO, BOD, Total Hardness, Calcium Hardness, Magnesium Hardness, Fluoride, Nitrate, Sulphate, Total Dissolved Solids, and Alkalinity. Based on WQI the Kagina river water falls under “B” grade WQI i.e Good quality water hence it is fit for potable purpose.
