Abstract
The current investigation was conducted between January 2022 and
December of 2023. During the study period water quality was studied in Baur
reservoirs two spot, one spot is a barrage area, and the second one is four
kilometers away from the first one. The present study is done in Baur
Reservoir, which is switched to Gularbhoj in Udham Singh district. Reservoir
water is used for irrigation and domestic purposes. Many villages are located
near the reservoir, so due to human interaction, water quality may be affected.
For this reason, the present study finds parameters of water so we can identify
the present water quality status, as we know many similar work done all over
India but in this study we find present condition which may be change from past
condition and as we know climatic condition are change now days so we can find
rainfall in every month and other parameters of reservoir. Various quality
parameters are measured, including PH, water temperature, DO, CO2,
total alkalinity, total solid, turbidity, total suspended solids and total
dissolved solids. All the parameters are within the permissible limit and
suitable for domestic use, pisciculture, and agriculture. Water quality
parameters have been observed to vary and, with the exception of temperature,
all show a positive correlation with the production of phytoplankton and
zooplankton in the chosen reservoirs. These parameters include temperature, pH,
dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, and total dissolved solids. The temperature
varies from 240c+ 60c, the pH varies
from 7.0 + 2, the dissolved oxygen range varies from 7+ 3, range
of carbon dioxide varies from 6+ 5, the humidity range is 50+25,
and rainfall throughout varying the all study period. All the physico-chemical
parameters are the relation to plankton diversity. In this study, we also find
plankton diversity status in Baur reservoir. All the water quality parameters
are under safety level and are good for irrigation purposes and for domestic
use. They can filtrate, and may relevant department may take action for tourist
activity that causes pollution in reservoir water.
