    Abstract :

    The Godavari River is a holy river. Apart from Ganga and Yamuna, Godavari is also one of the important religious rivers in India. Godavari is one of the sacred rivers in India. People all across country come to Nashik and take a holy bath to perform various religious activities especially in Kumbh Mela. Considering this some physicochemical properties of river Godavari at Nashik are studied. Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Total Solids (TS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) were determined during Monsoon (1st Sept to 17th Oct 2015), winter (18th to 29th Jan 2016) and Early Summer periods (29th March to 1st April 2016). The Godavari River is a second largest river in India originating from Trimbakeshwar, Nashik, Maharashtra, India. It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. The study area covers the length of river starting from sampling point from where it enters the city to the point from where it leaves city along with three sub branches including the Nasardi Stream. There were 23 locations were selected for collection of water samples from the river and the samples were analyzed for water quality parameters. An attempt has been made to correlate TSS and Turbidity based on various seasonal conditions to offer more efficiency in predicting TSS concentration in study area. The traditional techniques were used to assess spatial and seasonal variations. Pearson’s correlation test was used for correlating the data shows the positive relations between TSS and Turbidity (R2=0.722 from Sept to Oct 2015, R2 = 0.554 in Jan2016 & R2 = 0.806 from March to April 2016).
