Abstract
Aquatic life is directly influenced by the physicochemical
characteristics of water. Variations in these parameters often adversely affect
aquatic organisms by restricting their growth and interfering with their physiological
functions. This, in turn, reduces their ability to compete with other
populations in the ecosystem and ultimately alters the community structure. In
the present investigation, 19 parameters were selected for water analysis at
four different sites (S1, S2, S3, and S4), namely: water temperature, pH,
electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, bicarbonate,
calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, silica, nitrate, total phosphorus,
potassium, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total
dissolved solids (TDS), and total hardness. The results revealed significant
variations in different physicochemical parameters across the sampling sites.
The work was carried out for the period of 1 Year from June 2022 to May 2023.
