Textile industries and factories of Pali city release an abundance of pollutants that get mixed up with the water sources of the Bandi River. In the present study, the impacts of textile industrial effluent on Bandi River water were studied at Pali city of Rajasthan, which is an industrial hub, especially for the textile industry. The present status is that many physico-chemical parameters of river water are in excess of the standard levels, and they were found to be higher in concentration. The soil sites near the river became polluted due to the mixing of industrial effluents coming from textile industries located near the Bandi River. Thus, the analysis of water became an apparent need for the best agricultural practices. Results of the current study analysis exposed significant alteration in the values of the parameters like pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, Hardness, Cl- and SO4-2 from the range of standard values. Based on these observations, it can be concluded that the textile industrial effluents are adversely affecting not only the water quality of the river but also the soil quality. The sampling sites Punayata and Mandia showed high deviation from standards. Thus, the present study concluded that the groundwater quality in the study area was polluted. It also disturbs the aquatic environment, the features of groundwater, agricultural land and human beings.
