Water pollution is essentially a biological problem. Physico-chemical monitoring and biological parameter indicates the health of river. The present research has been focused on Narmada river in Jabalpur region in three selected sampling sites in Jabalpur region: Bargi Dam, Gwarighat and Bhedaghat. In the present study many of the physico-chemical parameters were showing highest value in Gwarighat while minimum in other stations. WQI value was decreased in IInd. It may be due to start of “Clean Narmada Abhiyan” and “Swachchhta Abhiyan” in Jabalpur as well as throughout the India. A total of 758 individuals of 55 families belong to 18 orders and 4 phylum. Further abundance status of identified families was categorized under four categories, very rare, rare, common and very common and those were 20%, 20%, 47% and 13% respectively. To compared 4 biotic indices used to evaluate water quality via benthic macro-invertebrates in order to determine health of river Narmada. The saprobic index, B-IBI and EPT% revealed the fair water quality. The calculation results for Hilsenhoff biotic index revealed very poor to good biological condition of water, in all the study Sites, slightly divergent from least disturbed condition.
