Maharashtra, India. ----------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - In the present work river water samples are collected from five different stations of Panchaganga river between Panchaganga ghat to Kurundwad and water quality assessment is carried out in December 2020. To assess the environmental impact of disposal of domestic, industrial and household waste into the river. Then water quality index (WQI) study is carried out to assess the environmental impact on the water quality of the Panchaganga river and to arrive at the level of pollution. From the study it is observed that station-1 and station-4 is Medium to Good water quality, station-3 and station-5 found Good to Excellent water quality and station-2 are found Bad water quality and are totally unfit for drinking purpose. This is mainly due to regular addition of domestic sewage, agricultural runoff, industrial wastes and other wastes that are let into the river through drains, nallahs in each station and it may lead to excessive pollution.

1.1 PANCHAGANGA RIVER The Panchaganga river is one of the important river of India located in Karnataka coastal and Maharashtra. The Panchaganga river of Maharashtra flows through border of Kolhapur. it starts from Prayag Chikhali 8 kilometre from Kolhapur. The Panchaganga formed by 4 streams Kasari, Kumbhi, Tulsi and Bhogavati. Local tradition believes in an underground stream Saraswati which together with the other four streams make Panchaganga river. 1 million peoples and 173 villages on Panchaganga river bank directly or indirectly depends depends on Panchaganga river. EastWest Length of River is 108 Km, North-South Length of River is 67 Km, Total Area is 2730.40 Sq.m, Average Width is 110 m, Average Minimum Depth is 3m, Average Maximum Depth is 14 m, Average Rainfall is 2501.9 mm, Average Minimum Temperature is 28°C to 12°C, Average Maximum Temperature is 14°C to 22°C.

Key Words: Water, Pollution, Water quality index, Surface water, Panchaganga river.

The release of effluents and industrial waste from nearby industries has resulted into the pollution of Panchaganga river which has turn the water green primarily near Ichalkaranji where there are numerous textile and seizing. industries which are releasing their fluids without treatment. Eichhornia Crassipes has developed on the river close by Ichalkaranji. Very little endeavours where taken by neighbourhood government bodies to control its development. In a rainstorm the water level ascents and clean out and seen no place until November, in December it begins to develop again and by April .

1. INTRODUCTION Pollution is a significant issue since it is a moderately ongoing improvement in the Planets history. Before the 19th century industrial revolution, individual lived, more in unity with their immediate environment. As industrialisation has spread in immense Quantity, the issue of pollution has spread with it. Water is normally referred to contaminated when it is hindered by anthropogenic containments, because of this content needs it either doesn't useful for human use for example drinking water.

1.2 STUDY AREA

The environment is under more sustained threat from human activity in the 21st century than at any other time in the history with extensive potential social and health consequences. Human health broadly defined, encompassing physical, mental and spiritual dimensions, is highly dependent on the context in which we live. Any threat to our environmental certainties, therefore, has a significant impact on human well-being. Kolhapur is settled on the rising ground on the bank of the river Panchaganga. Panchaganga is one of the major reason for prosperity of Kolhapur, It originates in Western ghats and is a major tributary to Krishna.

Kolhapur is the adjacent urban body located along the bank of the river with a population of 549283 and this city is located at 16° 42' N and 74° 14' E, having mean sea level of 570 m. There are 18 sugar factories, stands on rising ground on the south bank of the river Panchaganga. Sampling of water from Panchaganga river at selected 5 stations is being done, Manual method of sample collection is preferred considering all site conditions. we find out from topographic map where the measure effluents from industries release in river like sugar industry textile industry domestic sewage contributing a lot in pollution effect not only health but lives of people. Station-1 is located near Panchaganga Ghat (shivaji bridge), station-2 is located near kasaba bawada –

Qn = Quality rating for nth water quality parameter Vn = Estimated value of nth parameter at a given sampling location Sn = Standard permissible value of the nth parameter Vio = Ideal value of the nth parameter in pure water In most cases ideal value Vio = 0 except in certain parameters like dissolved oxygen and pH. The quality rating calculation for the DO and pH (Vio ≠ 0) is 14.6 mg/l and 7.0 respectively. Unit weight (Wn) is calculated by Equation 2. It is a value inversely proportional to the recommended standard values Sn of the corresponding parameters. Equation 2: Wn = (K/Sn) Where, Wn = Unit weight for nth parameter

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Water quality is measure of physical and chemical properties of the water, which in turns has its direct influence over the life of aquatic biota. Water quality representing parameters like like pH, Alkalinity, Acidity , Chloride Content , T.S , D.O , BOD, COD , Sulphate (SO4), Nitrate (mg/l), Phosphate (PO4 ) are considered as vital measures for classification of surface water monitoring. Hence, these physicochemical parameters were assessed (Water quality analysis result shown in Table - 4) during the period 7 December 2020 to, to 18 December 2020 denote the water quality index of Panchaganga river shown in table-5 and Graphical Water quality index (WQI) for the river water sampling stations as per chart-1.

Chart:-1 Graphical Water quality index (WQI) for the river water sampling stations 4. CONCLUSION The present study is aimed to assess the environmental impacts on the Panchaganga river water quality and to check the level of pollution at the located stations. From the results of present investigation it is concluded that due to nonavailability of the adequate land and full-fledged treatment facilities, municipal and industrial wastewater enters into river Panchaganga through various drains and nallahs which deteriorate the quality of river water. As per table-5, the water quality index study revealed that the water quality index (WQI) for station-1 is 52.71 which indicate that water Quality is Medium to Good,Non Polluted. For station-2 is 48.10 indicates Bad for drinking and totally unfit for drinking purpose. For Station-3 is 88.25 indicates water Quality is Good to Excellent, Non Polluted. For Station-4 58.98 are found to be Quality having Medium to Good, Non Polluted. For station-5, 87.81 indicates water is Non Polluted.
