Abstract :

The present work was evaluates water quality index [WQI] for drinking from Ashvi dam water, Sangamner, Maharashtra. It was assessed by using parameters such as pH, total dissolve solids, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, total phosphate, nitrates, turbidity and fecal colliforms. The WQI score of dam water was 56.68, 53.16 and 56.52 values in rainy, winter and summer. This indicates that the reservoir water is medium for drinking. The contributions of parameters to WQI in percent were also evaluated.
