Abstract :

The physico-chemical characteristics of water have direct impact on prevailing organism as well as on human being. Expanding population and industrial settlements, the demand of fresh water is increasing day by day. In India 80% of the surface water is vulnerable to pollution as more than 95% of the sewage in the country is not treated. Lentic water bodies play a very important role in maintaining the biodiversity and overall ecological balance in nature. The present study is attempted to characterize the water quality of ponds with respect to their pH, Temperature and Electrical Conductivity (EC). Four different ponds were selected such as Motera, Chandkheda, Amiyapur and Sughad pond. The seasonal mean pH of observed water sample of selected ponds ranges between 7.27 and 7.63. pH value goes to 7.63 in late summer and 7.27 in winter. Seasonal mean temperature of all sites ranges from lowest 21.32 in winter to 28.120C in late summer. The EC mean ranged between 0.98 to 1.81 μS/cm. Maximum EC is observed during late summer and minimum in late monsoon
