Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm FANI was the strongest tropical cyclone to strike the Indian state of Odisha since the 1999 Odisha super cyclone. The highest wind speed was 250 km/h. It took place on 3rd and 4th May 2019. The cyclone �FANI� has affected the water supply and distribution in the affected areas of Odisha. It has affected severely three districts Cuttack, Khordha and Puri. Water is considered as most important life supporting natural resource. Two important parameters of water are quantity and quality. Quantity and quality of water both affect human health in different ways. Water quality is the condition of water relative to the requirement of one or more biotic species and human need or purpose .The water should be tested once each year for Total Coliform bacteria, nitrates, total dissolved solids and pH values. The present investigation is aimed at assessing the current water quality standard of the river MAHANADI in terms of physicochemical parameters after the cyclone FANI. The different parameters measured in the present study are pH, DO, Total Hardness, BOD, COD and Total Coliform.
