Sample of textile industry effluent was collected from Hinganghat, District Wardha (M.S.) India and analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. The results of this analysis were compared with the water quality standards of BIS (Bureau of Indian Standard). In this analysis the various physicochemical parameters such as colour, odour, temperature, density, surface tension, viscosity, alkalinity, acidity, chloride, hardness, total dissolved solids(TDS), total suspended solid, pH, conductance, sulphate, COD, BOD, were determined using standard procedures. Elements like Sodium and potassium were determined flame photometrically. The quality of water samples were discussed with respect to these parameters and thus an attempt were made to ascertain the quality of water used for drinking and domestic purposes in the studied area.
