Abstract: Monitoringofriver waters arean important in now a days because of increasing industrialization, urbanization and anthropogenic actives from river banks. The industrial effluents, domestic sewage, agricultural wastesand aquacultural wastes are being discharged into the river waters and finally reaching into coastal waters that causing degradation of water quality. The present study was carried out to determine the water quality in terms of seasonal variability and behavior of physicochemical and nutrients parameters for a period of one year during 2013 in the estuarine waters of Gauthami Godavari along its longitudinal stretch at seven station from the head of the estuary to mouth of the estuary.
