The East Kolkata Wetland is famous for fishery activities and receives pollutants like heavy metal, oil, grease, solid wastes etc. through effluent of different industries like tannery, electroplating, plastic and dye industries of surroundings and alters the Ecosystem. In this study all the parameters of water collected from different bheris and jhils like pH, TDS, TSS. DO, BOD, COD, turbidity, concentration of chromium and nickel was checked. Qualitative and quantitative measurements are needed from time to time to constantly monitor the quality of water from the various sources of supply and it is supposed to meet drinking water standards if it is to be considered safe because contaminated water is the main cause for pathogen-loading of fish or vegetables, posing a serious health hazard to its consumer. After checking all the parameters it can be easily said that the water samples are not so good in quality and the samples also contain traces of heavy metal chromium and nickel.
