A present study has been carried out to assess the water quality of Godavari river at Nasik city. Water samples from three sampling stations were collected monthly, during period of November 2014 to March 2015 and physiochemical parameters (pH, chloride, free CO<sub>2</sub>, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand, most probable number) were analyzed by the standard methods. The pollution level over a period of time is increasing on the river water mainly due to sewage, industrial and other waste waters are directly discharge in the river. The Godavari river water is mainly used for domestic, industrial and agricultural purpose. Hence the present study is aimed to examine the water quality of the Godavari river and to evaluate the impact of such contaminated water.
