ABSTRACT
The necessity of clean drinking water appears in all forms of life and is a right of all
life forms. A majority of epidemics are a direct or indirect result of contaminated forms of
drinking water. Deterioration of water quality could be due to various reasons, like open
defecation, bathing in or near to water sources and other reasons. But safe drinking water is a
right of life. The quality of drinking water can be tested for its Physical-Chemical
characteristics. Pandharpur is a town in the Solapur district of Maharashtra and experiences
huge mass gatherings during pilgrimage occasions popularly known as ‘Wari’ at least three
times annually. In this respect assessment of water quality analysis was done for select
parameters in the study area for the lockdown period, for which, water samples were
collected from different water supply zones, bore wells, and different locations along the
river stretch. The present research paper shows spatial assessment of water quality for select
parameters at different locations from the study area.
