Abstract:

Various parameters in Owk Reservoir (Sri B V Subba Reddy Sagar), Owk were investigated from October 2012 to September 2014 to analyse the water quality. The different Physico-chemical parameters like Temperature, pH, TDS, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, alkalinity, free carbon dioxide, chloride, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, phosphates, sulphates, silicates, nitrites, nitrates, BOD and COD were carried out by standard methods. Our results showed either positive or negative correlation between the parameters indicating that one parameter interrelated with each other. Water of the reservoir which is built for storing water to be used for irrigation, seems to be of good quality. As such fish are also cultured here.

Keywords:
