Abstract :

The present work was assessing seasonal variation in physicochemical characteristics of some selected wetlands of mehsana districts during the period of March 2013–feuary 2014 for winter, summer and monsoon season. various parameter were measured like pH, calcium harness, total hardness, phosphate (PO4 – ), chloride (Cl– ), potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), carbonate (CO3 – ) and bicarbonate (HCO3 – ), total alkalinity, Biological oxygen demand, (BOD),Dissolved Oxygen (DO). Data analysis reveals that pH and BOD were higher in summer, Total hardness, potassium, sodium, phosphate, carbonate were medium in summer, calcium hardness, chloride, bicarbonate, total alkalinity and DO were lower in summer. Calcium hardness, bicarbonate, total alkalinity were higher in monsoon season, chloride, DO and BOD were medium in monsoon whereas pH, total hardness, potassium, sodium, phosphate and carbonate were lower in monsoon. Total hardness, potassium, sodium, chloride, phosphate, carbonate and DO were higher in winter, pH, Calcium hardness, chloride; bicarbonate and total alkalinity were medium in winter whereas BOD was lower in winter season
