Abstract :

The currentintellectdeal with assessment of vital Physico–chemical parameters and Zooplankton diversity correlated with the pollution status of Borna Prakalpa at Chandapur near Parli .v. town Dist. Beed resided between 180 – 51’–0” North latitude and 760 –27’–0” East longitude in Marathwada region [M.S] India [Asian continent]. The work was undertaken to investigate importantwater body near Parli .v. the imperative parameters were analyzed every month during Feuary 2010 –January 2011. For this three different sampling stations were selected at Borna Prakapa as station CH1,CH2,CH3 .The results construed that in the different months showed fluctuations in physicochemical parameters imitate accordingly to the seasons, climate and the pollution load over the scrutinize water body. The present work was correlated with the zooplankton diversity and pollution indicator species used as bio–indicators to assess the water quality of the Borna dam. The Bio– indicator zooplanktonspeciesfrom three (3) stations of the dam were recorded, with the pollution indicator index species listed by IAAB , Bilgami K. S. and Sládecek pollution indicator species. A total of 22 genera were recorded out of 10 Rotifers 8 were Bio– indicaor, from 4 Cladocera 4 were Bio – indicator, out of 6 Copepods 6 were Bio– indicator, and 1 Ostracoda being the Bio– indicator. For knowing the quality of water samples the total score of stations were recorded 19 indicator species out of 22 were found which helped to know the high degree of organic pollution at the Borna dam. The species given by IAAB , Bilgami K. S. and Sládecek pollution indicator index.
