The quality of surface water has progressively worse in many countries in the past few decades. As a result of the growing population, urbanization, agriculture, and increasing industrialization, the inland water bodies are confronted with the increasing water demand, as facing with extensive anthropogenic emissions of nutrients and sediments, predominantly the lakes and reservoirs. To resolve this problem, it is necessary to carry out water quality assessment, planning, and management, in which water quality monitoring plays an important role. This study aimed at assessing the water quality of Palair reservoir from Khammam district (TS) India. Palair reservoir used for irrigation, livestock watering and fish production. This study carries using some selected physico-chemical parameters. The result of water samples shows high pH indicates the basic nature of water samples, sulphate in the dam water was high, the phosphate content of reservoir water were found high which lead to unpleasant taste and odor. The obtained values of each parameter were compared with the standard values set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The values of each parameter were found to be within the beyond safe limits set by the WHO. Overall, the water from all the locations was found to be not safe as drinking water. However, it is also important to investigate other potential water contaminations such as chemicals and microbial and radiological materials for a longer period of time, including human body fluids, in order to assess the overall water quality of Palair reservoir.`1
