摘要：Maintaining the water quality of a river is very essential in order to utilize the resource effectively. Rapid industrial and urban development's often witness deterioration of water quality of the river. It is very important to assess the baseline characteristics of river water quality so that, sustainable development can be pursued. Water quality index calculates all the parameters and gives an easy decision making output to analyze the quality of water. A Simple but useful index is the National Sanitation Foundation-Water Quality Index (NSF- WQI). Change in total solid, pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus, nitrates, and turbidity were used for the calculation of the index. Considering the above factors an attempt has been made to assess the water quality of Chambal River M.P, India, through seven parameters of water. This study reveals that the Pollution level of Chambal River has not changed from 2010 to 2013. The River water of Chambal comes under the categories of Good quality. This indicates that very little anthropogenic activity has been found and it will solve the problem of drinking water nearby area.
