The primary requirement for human life and a healthy lifestyle is clean water. The availability and quality of water resources have an impact on the political, social, and economic development of society. In this present study, the Wainganga River flowing in Madhya Pradesh, has been the focus of research. Wainganga is the largest peninsular river in India. Wainganga River flows for 635.40 kilometers. Until its confluence with the Wardha River, the Wainganga River has a catchment area of 51,000 Sq. km. The basin spans the five districts of Maharashtra and three districts of Madhya Pradesh. It serves as a considerable supply of drinking water, irrigation, and hydropower. In this present study, water samples from five different sampling stations of Wainganga River were taken in the month of Sept. 2022 at Balaghat city, Madhya Pradesh to assess its appropriateness for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. The important physico-chemical parameters as pH, Turbidity, Specific Conductivity, Total dissolved solids (TDS),Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium Hardness (Ca-H), Magnesium Hardness (Mg-H), Nitrate and Sulphate were taken into consideration for study. The study follows APHA recommended standard methodology. The present study reveals that, during the study period, the water quality of Wainganga River was adequate and safe for drinking and irrigation purposes as per the recommendation of WHO and BIS (10500) standards suggested.
