        abstract = {The project entails a study of the properties of the wastewater at Shivanagara of  Davangere City's STP, with a correlation analysis and WQI to follow. Samples of influent and treated effluent were gathered in order to examine the characteristics over the rainy season. Color, pH, Alkalinity, BOD, COD, DO, TSS, TDS, Turbidity, EC and Chromium are among the properties that are analysed. Values were within the approved levels, indicating that STP was very effective in eliminating all pollutants and making effluent acceptable for disposal. Because of increased runoff during the rainy season, the influent may contain more contaminants, and treatment system overload may result in lower-quality effluent. Pollutants increase during the rainy season due to runoff, affecting both influent and effluent. To determine how dependent each parameter was on the others during the several seasons, the WQI and Correlation Index were computed. Samples were found to be having almost positive correlation among the each parameter. And also the WQI values were found out be satisfactory with restriction for drinking purpose but can be used for irrigation purpose. Seasonal fluctuations in influent and effluent quality indicate that, in order to maintain maximum performance throughout the year, treatment procedures must be adaptable and sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.},
