Abstract : ABSTRACT Vidarbha (Idarba) River passing by Anjansingi and Durgwada towns of Amravati district from Ma¬harashtra is a minor river which flows into the Wardha River. This river is under constant threat of pollution by floral wastes generated on account of pilgrim¬age, agricultural runoff, cattle grazing, faecal contamination and washing of cloths by ladies.The present study was carried out to calculate the Water quality index (WQI) of Vidarbha (Idarba) River to ascertain the water quality status of water for drinking and other purposes. Water quality index was determined on the basis of parameters pH, Total hardness (TH), Total solids (TS), Total alkalinity, Nitrate, Dissolved oxygen, Biological Oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen demand (COD) studied for one year during Oct.2010 to Sept. 2011. The results shows that WQI values of Vidarbha (Idarba) River of Amravati district are above 100 indicating that the source, i.e, Vidarbha River is unsuitable for drinking purposes. The study also revealed that this pollution is due to floral wastes generated on account of pilgrim¬age, agricultural runoff, cattle grazing, faecal contamination and washing of cloths by ladies.
