Abstract

The present research work was carried out to explore the diversity in various physical and chemical water parameters of Angoori Barrage Head in the Datia district of Madhya Pradesh. The mean range of selected water parameters like pH 7.5±0.22 and 7.5±0.20, temperature 24.3±3.2and 24.1±3.7, EC 258±38.6 and 266±41.8, DO 6.0±1.2 and 5.7±1.3, BOD 1.9±0.5 and2.7±1.0, COD 16.9±5.5 and 21.2±6.5, chlorides 32.5±10.4 and 41.6±14.0, nitrates 1.0±0.4 and 0.9±0.4, phosphates 0.5±0.2 and 0.6±0.3, TA 139±25.7 and 141±22.9, TH138±20.0 and138±25.2, water transparency 146.5±29.9 and 136.8±29, water turbidity6.5±3.3 and 6.6±3.7 and TDS 131±16.2 and 134±15.7 were analyzed regularly for two years from October 2020 to September 2022. The result indicates that the water is experiencing an anthropogenic pollution load from the surrounding catchment area and is not suitable for direct drinking purposes; however, this water can be used properly for fisheries purposes and for irrigation.
