Abstract

Waghdardi dam was constructed on Panzan river in 1970 in Nashik District. During the present investigation, surface water samples were collected from Waghdardi dam during March 2020 to Feb 2021 and analyzed for water quality by examining various parameters like pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, total solids, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, dissolved O2, dissolved salt etc. The importantance of the water quality in regard to both human health and agricultural practices can not be ignored. Present study of Physico-chemical analysis of water are useful for contributing the knowledge about awareness of water pollution and needs of water purification techniques. Nearly all parameters were within the permissible limits. Hence the water was found to be suitable for drinking and irrigation purpose.
