The region located on the bank of river Godavari. In this investigation the collected samples were tested for following parameters such as alkalinity, chloride, hardness, total dissolved solids, total suspended solid, pH, electrical conductivity, sulphate, sodium, potassium, biochemical oxygen demand and carbon dioxide. It is necessary to analyze and treat the industrial wastewater because it may deteriorate the groundwater and soil. Also it causes surface water pollution due to its discharge. Except oil & grease all the parameters included in this study were found to be within prescribed discharge limits for industries.
