Water quality is closely linked to water use and to the state of economic development. Water pollution occurs when unwanted pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in the water bodies and also to the natural biological communities. The present study was carried out to access the water quality of ‘Jayanti Nala’ Kolhapur (Maharashtra). Jayanti Nala flow in middle of the city which receives maximum untreated sewage and industrial waste. The water from Jayanti Nala discharged in ‘Panchganga River’ without any filtration and proper treatment, which is very harmful and unsafe to human consumption. In the present study, random water sampling was collected and physico-chemical parameters such as pH, temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, phosphate and nitrate were analysed. The results obtained from physico-chemical analysis were out of permissible limits set by World Health Organization (WHO) and not suitable for aquatic animals, irrigation and agriculture purposes.
