Study of physico-chemical parameter for a reservoir at Khandwa District (M.P.)

Abstract

2 Importance of water for the living being could not be neglected, with this view and the impact of the reservoir from the ecological and local point, this study was carried out. Reservoir studied is located at Khandwa, 3 Km. away from city, Khandwa on a local nallha named Barood nallah. It is a rain water reservoir, the primary source of water to the reservoir is a 6.4 Km long canal called Ajanti canal. Analysis of the reservoir water is carri ed out to observe the effect of de c re asin g catc h me nt’s are a, du e to sil tation an d de c re asin g wate r quantity on the physico-chemical condition of the reservoir water and its seasonal variation. Physico-chemical parameter analyzed were; temperature, pH, turbidity, transparency, TDS, silicate, free CO , DO, BOD, COD, total h ardne ss, Ca h ardne ss, M g h ardne ss, sul phate, fluori de, c hlori de and potassium form Au gu st 2006 July2007. Statistical analysis of the obtained data is carried out to draw conclusion.
