The present study was conducted to determine the water quality of Narmada river during summer season in Mandla district, Madhya Pradesh. In this study, water samples were collected from eleven localities of Narmada river in Mandla district and analyzed for various physicochemical parameters, such as alkalinity, ambient temperature, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), calcium hardness (CaCO3), chemical oxygen demand (COD), copper, dissolved oxygen (DO), electric conductivity (EC), fluoride, humidity, iron, nickel, pH, silver, total dissolved solids (TOS), turbidity and zinc. The ANOVA test also showed there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in physicochemical parameters of water quality in various sampling points of the Narmada river. The measured data were compared with standard acceptable limit. The Pearson correlation matrix revealed that among the studied parameters significant (P>0.05) negative association existed only for pH with dissolve oxygen (-0.710) and zinc with turbidity (-0.677), whereas all other parameters showed no significant (P>0.05) correlation. The water quality index (WQI) showed that water quality of Narmada river belongs to “A” and “B” grades which is suitable for drinking, irrigation, fish forming, industrial use or any human use.
