SEASONAL VARIATION IN PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF WATER FROM YASHWANT SAGAR RESERVOIR, MAHARSHTRA.

The seasonal variation of physico-chemical parameters of backwater from Yashwant Sagar reservoir were investigated during 3rd January 2023 to 25th December 2023 by using standardised parameters to determine its quality. Seasonal values of water colour, odor, turbity, temperature, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, free CO2 were observed from 5 different stations of Yashwant Sagar dam backwater area of Karjat and Shrigonda are presented in this paper. It was found that physicochemical parameters of water were almost at optimum level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
