Godavari is the second longest river in India. Pushkaram is the festival of Godavari which occurs once in 12 years. At this time of Godavari Pushkaram lakhs of people took bath in Godavari water. The present analysis on Godavari water was carried out for one year i.e., from January 2015 to December 2015 means before Pushkaram, during Pushkaram and after Pushkaram. For water quality analysis seven sampling stations were selected which are located at upstream, middle stream and downstream of east and west Godavari. The water samples were collected and analyzed as per the standard methods of APHA (1999). In this study Temperature, PH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Turbidity, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Fluoride, Chloride, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), sulphate, E-Coli parameters were analyzed. The obtained results are compared with water quality standards given by World Health Organization, Environmental Protection Agency and Bureau of Indian Standards. During Pushkaram there are some deviations in physico chemical parameters, but there is drastic change in E-Coli. On the basis of various parameters studied during Pushkaram, Godavari water is polluted due to anthropogenic activities. Keywords : Godavari Pushkaram, physico-chemical and microbial parameters, anthropogenic activities. 1.0 Introduction : country too bath in the river Godavari (Saksena, Water is the basic need for human beings. Rivers Garg and Rao, 2008). So in that time Godavari are the sources of water for drinking, for obtaining water quality is degraded due to anthropogenic food etc. In terms of length, catchment area and activities. Water pollution affects the entire discharge the Godavari River is the largest in biosphere. In almost all cases the effect is being peninsular India and had been dubbed as the damaged not only to individual species and Dakshina Ganga – The south Ganges River. population but also the natural biological Godavari originates at Triumbakam, Nasik District communities. The present study reveals how the of Maharashtra state and flows through southern Godavari water is contaminated during Pushkaram state of Andhra Pradesh and reaches the Bay of (Bawa kalpana and Gaikawad, 2013). Bengal. Godavari water plays a key role in providing potable water, transportation, 2.0 Materials and Methods : electricity, and dams’ construction. Godavari In the present study the samples were collected Pushkaram is a festival of rivers pertains to 12 from different places of East and West Godavari rivers in India which occurs once in 12 years.

Standard methods (APHA 1999) are sulphate ion, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron used for sampling collection, preservation and affects the conductivity of water. In the present estimation of physico chemical and microbial study the highest electrical conductivity is parameters like Temperature, PH, Electrical recorded in the month of July i.e., 561 µS/cm at Conductivity, Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, station S1. This is because there lots of pollutants Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand are discharged into the water during Pushkaram (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Turbidity, due to human activities. The variations in electrical Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Fluoride, Chloride, conductivity from Jan 2015– DEC 2015 are Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), sulphate, E-Coli (APHA represented in table 3 and average monthly 1999). One liter of samples was collected for variations in all stations are represented in figure physico chemical and microbial analysis from each c. station into pre sterilized bottles without air bubbles. All the samples are stored at low Total Hardness (TH) : The total hardness of water is temperature which is less than 4°C and above due to presence of calcium, magnesium and some freezing point.

Hence, people who bathe in the specific ”3ushkaram‘ celebrations organized in and around rivers in specific duration (particularly first 12 days), Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India during 11th to 24th perform various rituals and worship, offerings to August 2016. These celebrations generally involve ancestors, are said to gain great benefits [2]. activities that significantly pollute water. The study was Krishna river is the third longest river in India that flows carried out by collecting water samples before and after in central-southern India. It originates in Maharastra state, the period mentioned above at different locations where flows through Karnataka state and meets Bay of Bengal at celebrations were organized. In order to analyze the Hamsaladeevi in Andhra Pradesh state, covering a total samples, breakpoint chlorination technique was used distance of about 1400 km.

These heavy metals are not only danger for human being but also small species present in River. An inexpensive and effective adsorbent was developed from waste corncob for the dynamic uptake of heavy metal. There are various types of adsorbent such as tea waste, rick husk, sawdust etc but activated corncob shows very good as compare to other adsorbents.

  • Viveka Varsha 2019.Indd
    Viveka Varsha Significance of Rivers It is astounding how a single river blesses us with its generosity by providing us with numerous aspects, essential to survival. Mother earth is also known as the blue planet because of it being covered with 71% of water. These water bodies are nature’s benefac- tions to mankind, life without which would not have been possible. One of the signifi cant sources of water is the river. The early men are known to settle on the banks of rivers in order to avail the comforts and benefi ts provided, that included supplies of fresh water, fertile soil for cultivation purposes and more. Rivers sustain life, not only for mankind but also for fl ora and fauna. Rivers are massive providers of myriad advantages. They are major economic assets of any country as they did in the production of electricity, attract tourism, act as a solid trans- portation medium, help in trading purposes and also support the ecosystem by helping in the functioning of various natural phenomena like the water cycle. Various rivers are also regarded as deities in many countries, including our own. They are considered sacred and worshipped by devotees with utmost respect and loyalty, as their holy water is known to cure one of all illness.
