Water quality studies of specific hotspots have been undertaken with certain objectives and methodologies. Water is a basic resource for existence of our universe; therefore, it has been termed as elixir of life. Periodic assessment of both surface and ground water potential and continuous monitoring of quality is essential to adopt remedial measures. In present study, we proposed the model for testing the quality of water that could be useful for identification of similar hotspots. Among the physical, chemical and bacteriological characteristics, our group has undertaken first two. Sixteen samples of Bhaunak river basin of Jalgaon district (MS) were tested for their quality.
