CHAPTER XIVWater Quality of Rivers in Godavari Basin14.1 Godavari River SystemThe Godavari basin extends over an area of 3, 12,812 sq km which is nearly 10percent of the total geographical area of the country. The basin lies in the Deccanplateau, and covers large areas in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, in addition to smaller areas in Karnataka andOrissa.The Satmala Hills, the Ajanta Range and the Mahadeo Hills, on the south and eastby the Eastern Ghats and on the west by the Western Ghats, bound the Godavaribasin on the north. The Godavari is the largest river of the Peninsular India,inspite of its massive catchment area; the discharge is not very impressive becauseof moderate annual average rainfall in the basin. Its four important tributaries arethe Manjira, the Pranhita, the Indravati and the Sabari. The wastewater generationfrom domestic (both rural and urban) and the industrial sector are the mainsources of pollution in the river basin. Amongst the five states Orissa State is leastindustrialized followed by Chhattisgarh and Karnataka, with Maharashtra havingthe high urban industrial pockets. Most of the industrial activities are centredmainly at Aurangabad & Nasik in Maharashtra, East & West Godavari District inAndhra Pradesh. Sugar and distillery units are large in number in Maharashtrafollowed by pharmaceuticals, leather, pulp and paper and pesticide units. InAndhra Pradesh sugar and distillery units are large in number followed by Pulp &Paper and fertilizer industries. The above-mentioned industries are massive waterconsuming by nature and the deterioration in water quality in the river cannot beruled out particularly from Nashik to Nanded in Maharashtra and at Baster inChhattisgarh and Burgampahad in Andhra Pradesh.The important urban centers in this basin are Nagpur, Ambejogai, Ballarpur,Bhandara, Buldhana, Chalisgaon, Hinganghat, Hingoli, Manmad NandurbarOsmandabad Parli Pusad Shrirampur Udgir Latur Kamptee Ahmadnagar ParbhaniAurangabad Wardha Bid Nashik Chandrapur Jalna Nanded Yavatmal, Amalnerand Gondiya in Maharashtra; Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh, Chiklikalan Parasia,Chindwara Seoni Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh, Rajahmundry NizamabadRamagundam Eluru Warangal Khammam Kothagudem Karimnagar BhimavaramKakinada Adilabad, Bellampalle Bodhan Jagtial Kagaznagar MancherialMandamarri Narsapur Nirmal Palacole Palwancha Sangareddy Siddipet SiricillaTadepalligudem and Tanuku in Andhra Pradesh; Bidar in Karnataka and Jeypur inOrissa.111
14.2 Water Quality Monitoring in Godavari BasinThe water quality monitoring of the River Godavari are being done in the basin bythe State Pollution Control Boards of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, MadhyaPradesh and Orissa. The monitoring locations are on main stream of Godavari(35) and on tributaries are Manjara (Manjira), Maner, Nira, Wainganga, Wardha,Kolar, Kanhan, Purna, Indravati, Sankhani, Nakkavagu,Vamsadhara, Darna,Bindusar, Penganga, Vena, Kinnersani and Sabari. The ranges of water qualityobserved in Godavari basin with respect to Temperature, pH, DO, Conductivity,BOD, Nitrate, Nitrite, Total Coliform (TC) and Faecal Coliform (FC) arepresented as minimum, maximum and mean value to assess the extent of waterquality variation throughout the year.14.2.1 Water Quality of River GodavariThe water quality of River Godavari indicates that the DO value ranges from 1.2-12.2 mg/l. The minimum value of DO (1.8 mg/l) is observed at Kapila- GodavariSangam in Maharashtra. Other locations having low DO are Tapovan (1.8 mg/l),Nasik D/s (1.9 mg/l), Jalna Intake Water Pump House, Shahabad (2.3 mg/l),Saikheda (2.7 mg/l), U/s of Aurangabad Reservoir (3.4 mg/l) and Hanuman Ghat,Nashik City (3.8 mg/l) in Maharashtra. The BOD values ranges from Nil-37 mg/land the higher values are observed at Kapila- Godavari Confluence Point atTapovan (37.0 mg/l), Nasik D/s & Tapovan (28.0 mg/l), Jalna Intake Water PumpHouse at Shahabad (18.7 mg/l), Panchavati at Ramkund (16.0 mg/l), SomeshwarTemple (14.5 mg/l), Hanuman Ghat at Nashik (13.5 mg/l), Saikheda (12.5 mg/l),Jayakwadi Dam at Aurnagabad & D/s of Paithan at Pathegaon Bridge (12.0 mg/l),Dhalegaon (10.0 mg/l), U/s of Gangapur Dam at Nasik (9.0 mg/l), U/s of Paithanat Jayakwadi (8.0 mg/l), Latur Water Intake Near Pump House at Dhamegaon &Nanded (7.4 mg/l), U/s of Aurangabad Reservoir at Kaigaon Tokka (7.2 mg/l),Raher (7.0 mg/l) and Nandur- Madmeshwar Dam (6.0 mg/l) in Maharashtra andGodavarikhani at Karimnagar (7.8 mg/l), D/s of Ramanugundam (7.7 mg/l),Ramagundam D/s Near FCI Intake Well at Karimnagar (6.4 mg/l), Basara atAdilabad (4.0 mg/l), Mancherial & Mancherial B/c of Rallavagu (3.6 mg/l) andKamalpur D/s at Warangal & Ramagundam U/s at Karimnagar (3.5 mg/l) inAndhra Pradesh. The Faecal Coliform ranges from 1-500 MPN/100ml whereasthe Total Coliform ranges from 7-2400 MPN/100 ml.The River Godavari at most of locations in Maharashtra and Bhadrachalam U/s,near Rly Bdg B/c of Rallavagu at Mancherial, Rajahmundry D/s, Godavarikhani,Ramagundam U/s & D/s and Burgampahad in A.P. is exceeding desired waterquality criteria. The sources of pollution is from domestic and industrialwastewater generated from the large cities in Maharashtra and Mancherial,Ramagundam, Rajahmundry, Godavarikhani, Burgampahad and Bhadrachalamcities in Andhra Pradesh. Depletion of dissolved oxygen has been reported due toaddition of sewage into the river besides bacteriological pollution.
