A systematic study has been carried out to assess the water quality at downstream of Godavari river at Nashikcity and its impact on Nashik Thermal Power Station, Eklahare. Water samples from six sampling stations were cot llected monthly, during period March 07 – February 08 and physico-chemical and chemical parameters 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 wastewaters are directly discharge in the river. The use of Godavari river water is, mainly for domestic, industrial, agricultural purpose and huge amount of water is also utilized by Nashik Thermal Power Station for electricity generation.
