PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF POND WATER FROM KALYAN, AMBERNATH AND BADLAPUR CITY
Shweta Humbarwadi*, Manisha Gude
ABSTRACT
The surface water quality of some stagnant water bodies like ponds in Kalyan.Ambernath and Badlapur have been investigated experimentally by analyzing the physicochemical parameters. Pond water has been analyzed to find the suitability for drinking and irrigation purpose. The physicochemical parameter of water such as pH, temperature, alkalinity, TDS, TSS, total hardness, phosphate, nitrate, chloride, DO and BOD have been studied. By observing the result it can be concluded that the parameters which were taken to study are above the permissible limit of drinking and irrigation standards (BIS, IS-10500, FAO). The results reveal that overall water quality was found unfit for drinking and irrigation purpose. Among all
the three ponds Badlapur pond shows maximum values of TSS, TDS, DO and BOD.
Keywords: Pond, physicochemical parameter, DO, BOD, alkalinity.
