The present work aimed at assessing the water quality of Priyadarshini Jurala Project, near Atmakur mandal in Mahabubnagar district, Telangana state, India. Samples collected at three sites of dam viz., S1-upstream of the dam i.e., one km from the dam, S2-near the dam and S3-downstream of the dam i.e., one km from the dam. Water samples were analyzed for various physical parameters viz., temperature, PH, conductivity, turbidity and chemical parameters viz., Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, PO43-, DO, BOD, COD and hardness. The analytical results shows that the values of most of the parameters are within the limits of WHO and ISI specifications. It is therefore recommended that the proper filtration are required to control the turbidity and dissolved solids and also disinfection and pathogenic tests are recommended to make it safe and healthy water for drinking purpose.
