The wastewater generated from textile industries of Solapur city is studied for its characterization. Wastewater of textile industry was found to contain a high degree of pollutants with high TDS and suspended solids. The wastewater is highly colored and viscous due to dyestuff and suspended solids respectively. Chloride, sulphate, nitrate, Sodium salts of these anions are most commonly used in the process. In heavy metal chromium is in higher concentration while other heavy metals iron, zinc, lead, copper and manganese are also present. The waste water also has high BOD and COD indication its polluting nature. This review collects the general information relating to textile wastewater constituents and organizes it to help researchers who are required to prepare useable water in construction industry. These ingredients are also evaluated based on the typical characteristics of textile wastewater, and special constituents to simulate these characteristics are recommended. The processes carried out during textile manufacturing and the chemicals corresponding to each process are also discussed
