Ganga basin lies in the form of lenticular river valley stretching in the north-west direction. Sehore, one of the districts of Madhya Pradesh state is situated nearly 87 Km. west of capital Bhopal at latitude 22.45' N.. and longitude 76.30'E. The city get an average rainfall of 1120 mm. annually. The need of water for Irrigation, industrial and other purpose is met from Parbati river which also caters the drinking water need of Sehore city. The river originates from Shampur reserve forests and ultimately confluences with river Chambal which joins river Yamuna and therefore it falls under Ganga basin. The monitoring of Parbati river water has been done seasonally near Kayri Kadeem (Sehore district of M.P.). The samples were colleted from the upstream and down stream of the flow path of the river at six points. Water temperature, sulphate and turbdity were found higher in summer season. pH, nitrate, chloride, flouride, alkalinity, total hardness and BOD were found higher in monsoon season. Iron and DO. showed higher values in winter season. The study is aimed to assess the degree of pollution of Parbati - river water and its quality status.
