Water is an important natural resource on plane tearth.About 71 percent earth surfaceis covere dby water includes oceans, glaciers, ice
caps, lakes ,streams and underground reservoir. Waterquality and quantity both are important for exsistence.Water quality plays an
important role inallsectors include agriculture, domestic, industrial etc. Fresh water resources like stream s provide varied ecological
benefits and supporting freshwatera nd flourishing streamside ecosystems. Nambla stream and its catchment areas have been
inhibited by human seƩlements which can possibly affecting a ecosystems in the sourroudingarea. Therefore, the objective of this
study was to assess and evaluate the possible effects of anthropogenic disturbances, particularly changes in some water quality
parameters. This study analysed the anthropogenic and seasonal footprints on the physio chemical parameters ofNambla stream. The
drinking and irrigation water quality in the stream water was done withthe aid of using drinking WHOstandards.. Water samples were
collected from various sitesfrom the stream for conducting various water parameters which include Temperature, pH,TDS, EC,
turbidity, total hardness, free CO2 , total nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity. There sult srevealed that the value so fallwater
quality parameters for all four selected sites of Nambla stream sites were mostlyin good condition.For sometime and points of the
measurements, several parameters were found to be above the official water quality standards dueto theintensive anthropogenic
activities,particularly at site 3& 4.
