Abstract: Narmada River is the holy river of the state Madhya Pradesh. A study was considered for the development of water quality index using fifteen physicochemical parameters like pH, temperature, TDS, turbidity, total alkalinity, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sulphate, Chloride, Fluoride, Total hardness, Calcium hardness, BOD, COD and DO measure at four different sites (S1, S2, S3 and S4) along the river Narmada at Dindori city. The investigation period was divided in to three seasons’ rainy, winter and summer. The physicochemical parameters were estimated by standard method of APHA (2012) [1]. The various physico chemical parameters were taken into consideration to assess the Narmada river water quality. The study finds out the water quality of river Narmada through the analysis of some selected physicochemical parameters and compares with BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) permissible limit (BIS 10500 2012) [2]. On the basis of various parameters, it can be concluded that water of the study indicates the river water of Narmada River is not completely pollution free. Narmada River can serve as a good habitat for many aquatic organisms. The river water is used for domestic and irrigation but not for drinking.
