Abstract

Thirty nine numbers of ponds were selected for determination of storage capacity of water. Maximum storage capacity of village pond has been determined by the information on the overall shape, as well as pond surface area and depth. The total 11 numbers of village ponds in Mungeli block (Chatarkhar, Chalan and Bhaghamuda) were measured for determining their capacity. The total storage capacities of studied village pond in Mungeli block are 700179.00 m3. The total 14 numbers of village ponds in Pathariya block (Junwani, Dankachaka and Chorbhatti) were measured for determining their capacity. The total storage capacities of 12 village ponds in Pathariya block are 393590.84 m3. Similarly, total 14 numbers of village ponds in Lormi block (Ranigaon, Gadihdih and Nawadih) were measured for determining their capacity. The total storage capacities of 14 village ponds in Lormi block are 572516.91 m3. The total storage capacities of village pond in Mungeli District are 1666286.75 m3. This water used in different purposes such as domestic uses, agriculture landscape, fish production etc. The total six numbers of water samples of village pond (i.e. two pond water samples from each block) collected from different locations of the Mungeli district and it were analysed for their physico-chemical characteristic like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), total hardness (TH), Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl-, CO2 and HCO3 - ions. Water samples collected from the village ponds and after analysis found that it is acidic. Whereas the other parameters like EC, TDS, TH, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl-, CO2 and HCO3 -ions of the water samples collected from the village ponds shows the higher values. The result may be helpful for careful utilization of various village ponds.
