Abstract
The rivers of India play an important role in the lives of the Indian people. The river system provides irrigation, potable water, cheap transportation, electricity, as well as provide livelihood for a large number of people all over the country. This easily explains why nearly all the major cities of India are located by the banks of river. The rivers also have an important role in Hindu mythology and are considered holy by all Hindus in the country.Many people work on water quality by applying physico-chemical parameters, but for the first time quality of water was monitored by studying macroinvertebrate fauna. Macroinvertebrates means the animals without back bone, can be seen with necked eyes and whose home is streams, rivers, wetlands and lakes. The study was carried out from January 2020 to December 2021. The present paper embodies the biodiversity of macroinvertebrates from rivers Tapi, Sipna, Khandu, Khapra, Gadga, Dolar in Satpuda. They form the bio-indicators of lentic water ecosystems.
