Ecological Evaluation of Seasonal Dynamism in Physicochemical Characteristics of Tropical Reservoir in Central India
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study was carried out to make an ecological evaluation of physico – chemical characteristics in Barna reservoir during various seasons. Barna reservoir is a tropical reservoir which is constructed on river Barna, a tributary of river Narmada in central India. For evaluation of seasonal changes in water quality of Barna reservoir water samples were collected on monthly basis for a certain period from January 2009 to December 2009 and a total of 19 parameters were analyzed according to standard methods. The results revealed that the ecology of Barna reservoir in different seasons showed dynamism in physico – chemical parameters which could be due to various factors like input of fertilizers, weathering of rocks, meteorological phenomenon and other activities in catchment area.
