Abstract
The physical parameters like temperature, odor, electrical conductivity, turbidity and pH of Wunna River in Maharashtra (India) at three different stations (upstream region- S,, effluent mixed region• S, and 700 m away from effluent mixed region-S,) were studied during the pre, mid and post• monsoon season. Marginal variations were recorded in temperature and turbidity while rigorous effect of effluent discharge on odor, electrical conductivity and pH was observed at the effluent mixed region as compared to the other stations. The flow of water in the river in different seasons was found to be an important factor responsible for variable impact of pollution. The data analysis confirms a great extent of pollution of the riverine eco-system at the site of release of textile industry effluents
