Abstract: Water is the most important parameter to be considered for improving living standards of the people at any area, which is being supplied to the public with various distribution systems from the sources of water supply. Generally water is available and being supplied to the public from two different sources such as surface water and groundwater. Surface water is available in the form of catchments, ponds, rivers etc. catchment is a hydrological body which has the source of water through precipitation and the runoff from the nearby areas. Every drop of catchment normally enters either into the river or it may evaporate if the water is not being used, at most of the areas catchments are serving as potential water resource for drinking, agriculture and for various daily day to day activities. The hydrological behavior of Catchments near to the rivers is greatly influenced by the quality of river water as the contaminants enter in to the catchments either directly or through infiltration. In the present study catchments at every village near to the river basin of Krishna River were selected to assess the quality of water and its level of suitability for consumption. Total eight water samples were collected in sterilized glass bottle by covering all the corners of the catchment and all the tests were conducted by adopting standard analytical procedures, the results were correlated with Surface water quality criteria for different uses (specified by CPCB, 1979 and the Bureau of Indian Standards, 1982.) and then results were projected in GIS maps.
