Abstract: Industrial area in Narol, is located in the outskirt region of Ahmedabad, Gujarat with a number of industries. Chemicals and textile industries are an important industry in this area producing a number of agrochemicals and cloths along with lot of effluents throughout the year. The accumulated effluents bring about changes in the various water quality parameters. The study of surface water quality at the vicinity of industrial area throughout the year 2015 (during monsoon, pre-monsoon and post- monsoon period) reveals that all the water quality parameters specially pH and fluoride content are much above the standard values prescribed by ISO 10500 which gradually approach towards standard value with an increase in distance from the industry. The surface water up to a distance of 02 km from core industrial area is not suitable for living organisms.
