Abstract:
Considering the impacts of industrial effluents on the quality of water of many dams and rivers as reported in the literature, a study of water quality of Pench Reservoir (India) has been carried out. In the present work, physico-chemical parameters and bacteriological status are evaluated to determine its suitability for drinking and irrigation. From various parameters like pH, DO, BOD, COD, EC and minerals etc, it is concluded that the water is suitable for drinking. Also contents of chlorides, TDS, SAR, Na%, and RSC are within the limits accepted for irrigation, therefore, the water can be classified as fit for irrigation purpose.
