Abstract :

Present investigation report shows physico–chemical parameters of water samples collected from Gangapur Dam of Dist. Nashik observed during the years 2009–2010 and 2010–2011. Water samples collected were analyzed for pH, electric conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), suspended solids (SS), biological oxygen demand (BOD). Average values for, pH = 7.93 to 8.00, EC = 215.04 to 292.67 μS/cm, DO = 6.23 to 6.71 mg/L, Temperature = 27.25 to 24.82 0C, TDS = 130.21 to 170.75 mg/L, SS = 25.50 mg/L, BOD = 8.04 to 8.00 mg/L during the years 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 respectively. All parameters studied were found to be within normal limits, and the water was found to be suitable for irrigation as well as different purpose.
