The around seven rivers running all over the Solapur district and provide water for irrigation, industrial and household purposes. The biochemical analysis of river water indicates that the river water is alkaline in overall Solapur district which comes around an average pH 8.5. Along with the pH around 11 parameters were tested with respect to river waters and we found variations in each parameter. The parameters investigated in the present study are electrical conductivity, total hardness, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, total dissolved solids (Total suspended solids and total solids), nitrate and dissolved oxygen. The present study was primarily focused on the testing of freshwater quality in Solapur city. Based on the survey above sampling sites were selected. The samples were analyzed for physical-chemical parameters following the procedures prescribed in standard methods for the analysis of water and wastewater.
