The study carried out on Khan Sarovar treatment plant’s water deals with the influence of environmental parameters on the ground water quality and water bodies. The waste water of approximately 60,00,000 liters’ quantity is directly disposed into the canal, after treatment. The water which is chemically and biologically harmful should be treated or its assessment should be happens so as to cure it in better way. The assessment, analysis and periodical testing of the water samples for quality have been done. There are many modes and ways to assess the water quality. The water quality of drinking, washing, irrigation and industrial use may vary as per the minimum requirements of biological or physical parameters but the waste water and its spatial effect up to 5 kilometers have to be checked and assessed for direct use. Water Quality Index is a useful representation of overall quality of water for public or for any required use as well as in the pollution demolition programmes and in water quality management. This research paper presents with the study of physio-chemical and biologically important parameters such as pH, BOD, Colour, COD and Turbidity in water samples collected from Khan Sarovar Treatment plant after disposal. The study is intended to calculate Water Quality Index (WQI) of the Canal in order to ascertain the quality of water for public consumption, recreation and other purposes.
