Abstract: The present study discusses the sustainability of the Gosthani River which is flowing through Tanuku town. In Tanuku, this river water is not used for drinking purpose. After crossing Tanuku town, some of the villages like Velpur, Relangi, Attili etc., are used for drinking and irrigation purpose also. The entire sewage of Tanuku is directly discharged into the Gosthani River which creates an alarming situation to the water quality of Gosthani River. So the samples of Gosthani River are collected and then samples were tested for various physicochemical parameters. The results were compared with Beaure of Indian Standards (10500-2012). It is found that the results obtained from the study area are within the limits. But in future, they may vary due to a rapid increase in population. There is no Sewage Treatment Plant in Tanuku. In this study, the design of sewage treatment plant in Tanuku is discussed. The construction of the sewage treatment plant is to prevent the direct disposal of sewage in the Gosthani River. In the present study, a comprehensive design of unit operations and unit processes are discussed. By the execution of the project, the Gosthani River gets sustained.
