The relation between turbidity and the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) was measured basing on the flow rate of the Godavari water during the period pre- mansoon (July 2005) to post-mansoon (November 2005).  It is observed that, in pre mansoon season during heavy rainfall, the flow rate of the Godavari water increases causing decrease in TDS and increase in turbidity, where as in post mansoon season due to decrease in flow rate of water turbidity decreases and TDS value increases.
The heavy flow rate of river water neither allows settling the turbid soil nor does allow the salts to dissolve in water. Hence turbidity in water increases, simultaneously the TDS value decreases. The soil sample of the Godavari was also analyzed and found low Total Soluble Salts (TSS) in pre mansoon and high in post mansoon season.
