The present investigation was carried out to assess the prevalence of water borne diseases & water quality of Godavari River and Reservoirs of Nanded District in Maharashtra. The quality of water consumed and incidence of disease is based on perceptions by the respondents where the various stakeholders were considered. The water quality of the reservoirs and associated water borne diseases appeared to be dependent on different attributes such as the age, literacy and resources used by the tourists visiting the shrine during the peak festive season and residents of the villages for consumption of water. A correlation of water quality of the reservoirs and the growing incidence of water borne diseases among local residents largely depends on multiple factors like the hygiene, education/literacy, proper resources of water supply and treatment and economic conditions of the villagers etc. In order to prevent the frequent recurrence of water borne diseases among the pilgrims and local residents, proper measures in terms of health enforcement and strict norms needs to be adopted while delivering tap and water services that is abstracted from the reservoirs for the visitors and public at large.
