In recent years, pollution has become a major concern due to rapid urbanization. The quality of surface waters suffers increasingly of severe degradation due to industrial, domestic and agricultural activities. A review of water quality of Cauvery River is done here by knowing the quality of water samples that are collected and tested seasonally and also at various points in the Cauvery basin. Assessment of quality of water is important to have best utilization of water resource and also to keep a check on pollution levels which has direct impact on human and the surface water flowing. Industrial, agricultural and domestic areas are surrounding Cauvery River which could possibly cause of pollution of Cauvery River. The physical and chemical and biological characteristics are studied for the tested samples collected by standard methods. Agricultural sources are non-point sources of pollution while industrial and domestic wastewater discharges are point sources of pollution
