This investigation was designed to study the effect of industrial waste water on water quality by measuring water chemistry, nutrients, heavy metals and phytoplankton. Fluctuation in these parameters occurred. positive and negative interaction had been recorded between ِair temperature, dissolved oxygen, oxygen percentage of saturation, nitrate, particulate chromium, dissolved copper, dissolved cadmium and phytoplankton total count with r value (0.648*, -0.662*, -0.662*, 0.605*, 0 .609*, -0.686*, 0.715**, 0.621*) respectively. We concluded that Industrial waste water have a considerable effects on water quality and on the interactions between different parameters.
