Abstract

Wetlands, the vigorous water filled inland aquatic systems perform variety of functions like provide irrigation, fisheries and recreation resource etc., Assessment of water quality is an important criterion for determining the suitability of water for irrigation, fishing and drinking purpose. The present study deals with the seasonal physicochemical investigation of water of the Chichtola lake, district Gondia of Maharashtra State during the year 2018-20. The physic-chemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, Conductivity, Transparency, Dissolved Oxygen DO, CO2, Biological Oxygen Demand BOD, Chemical Oxygen Demand COD, Phosphate and Nitrate were studied at three sampling sites of the lake during the study period. The analysis of various parameters carried out by using standard methods (APHA and NEERI). Regular monitoring of water quality parameters can help to conserve freshwater ecosystem.

Keywords:Chichtola lake, Conservation, Freshwater ecosystem.
