Hemant Kumar and Arti Rai
Water quality is an index of health and being of a society. Physico-chemical parameters are important criteria for determining the suitability of water for irrigation and drinking purpose. The study area selected was the Garia dam (Railway dam) Jhansi District. Garia dam have been studied through monthly survey in six month from January 2017 to June 2017. The water remain moderately Air temperature (31.28oC) and Water temperature (27.03oC), Transparency (123.8 cm), pH (7.5) while Electrical Conductivity of water (0.395 mS/cm), TDS (237.5 mg/l), Chloride (176 mg/l) and Alkalinity (207.16 mg/l) showed main value. Average Dissolve Oxygen (DO) level were 5.75 mg/l while average Nitrates and Phosphates level were 3.70 mg/l and 2.79 mg/l respectively. On the basis of water quality parameters in general Garia dam was found to be eutrophic.
