“…The physico-chemical parameters of water are important to know the trophic nature of the water body. The productivity of a water body depends primarily on the physico-chemical and biological properties of water (Verma, 2019;Bhagde et al, 2020;Verma and Prakash, 2020). These properties again depend on the nature of bottom soil and climatic conditions.…”

Bottom sediments form an integral part of the aquatic ecosystem, where they serve as important sinks for contaminants. However, management options for bottom sediments require an analysis of the physico-chemical properties. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to assess the physico-chemical properties of bottom sediments of Bhagda Taal, a wetland in order to inform their potential use in fish production. The bottom sediments were collected from three sampling sites using Ekman's dredge. The samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter content, and macronutrients content (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) using standard laboratory procedures. The mean pH value of the sediments was 7.43, which was found to be slightly alkaline. The EC in the bottom sediments was found to be quite high, with a mean value of 1316.11 µs/cm -1 . The bottom sediments in this wetland were found to be high in the organic matter content (1.69 %). The nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous had mean values of 26.37 mg/100g, 11.05 mg/100g, and 6.38 mg/100g, respectively. Hence, it is concluded that present wetland was highly productive in nature.

“…Earth is covered with three-fourth of water, out of which only one percentage is available as potable water. Due to increase in population, and human activities for appropriate economic growth, the demand for water increases (Bhagde et al 2020). The rate of water scarcity increases day by day continuously.…”

Aim: The aim of this study is to check the potability of pond water and RO water. This is carried out by comparing the Electrical Conductivity (EC) and turbidity of two different sources of water. Materials and methods: Twenty number of samples from a local pond and potable water sources were tested for turbidity and electrical conductivity using turbidity meter and conductivity meter, respectively. Results and Discussion: On performing an independent samples t-test on the two groups considered, it is observed that there exists a significant difference between the turbidity and the EC (p <0.05). Turbidity was higher in pond water (21.20 ± 2.51) than that of RO water (6.55 ± 0.33). The concentration of EC is also higher for pond water (1.67 ± 0.35) than that of RO water (0.15 ± 0.33). Conclusion: This study shows that the pond water is not potable when compared to RO water. The pond water requires treatment prior to domestic use in order to improve sustainability.

Therefore, the present work was undertaken to study the hydrobiological characteristics of Burhi Gandak River in relation to fisheries and pollution.…”

Hydrobiological studies of Burhi Gandak river were carried out for a period of one year from March, 2019 to February, 2020 at two stations of urban area of Samastipur town, Bihar. The parameters taken included the water temperature, transparency, pH, dissolved oxygen, magnesium, and calcium. These properties were analyzed and compared with standard values recommended by bureau of Indian standards and world health organization. Present investigation was undertaken to ascertain the water quality status of Burhi Gandak river at Samastipur town. The results revealed that there were significant seasonal variations in most of the parameters; water was found to be hard, polluted and not suitable for domestic, agricultural and fish growth.
