The river Indravati is also known as the oxygen of the Bastar district of state of Chhattisgarh which was considered one of the greenest and eco-friendly districts found in the whole of India. This paper is an attempt to analyze the water quality of river Indravati in Bastar district for irrigation purpose. Water quality variables were measured from water samples collected from six check dams viz. Aasna, Indravati (Kumrawand), Karanji, Rotma, Narayanpal and Chitrakote in the river over a period of one year (June 2019 to March 2020) fortnightly. The samples were analyzed for pH, EC, TDS, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, CO32-, HCO3-, NO3-, SO42-. Based on these parameters different irrigation water quality indices such as sodium percent (SP), SAR, RSC and WQI were estimated. Studies of all these characteristics indicate that Indravati river water can be safely used for irrigation round the year.
