Abstract: Sewage water contain essential plant nutrients required for plant growth, which are within permissible limits are suitable for irrigation purpose as per norms of different agencies. The present study was carried out to assess different physico chemical properties of sewage water which was collected from alongside railway track of Mumbai during kharif and rabi season of year 2016-17. The laboratory work was carried out in Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. PDKV, Akola. As per analysis discovered that, characteristic of sewage water viz. BOD, COD, pH, EC, CO3, NO3-N, PO4-P, K, exchangeable Ca2+, Mg2+, Na and SO4-S were studied. Sewage water used for irrigation to vegetable crops alongside Mumbai local railway track had BOD (41.25 mgL-1), COD (48.23 mgL-1), pH (7.02), CO3 (Nil), K (17.87 mgL-1), exchangeable Ca (54.62 mgL-1), exchangeable Mg (28.05 mgL-1), SO4-S (656.29 mgL-1) were within the prescribed limits whereas, EC (0.99 dS-1), NO3-N (25.84 mgL-1), HCO3 (15.18), Na (3.96 mgL-1) beyond prescribed limits of FAO (1985), however PO4-P (57.82 mgL-1) as per Indian standard (1982).
