Abstract

Pollution of pond is an ecological problem which is posing a great threat on international scale, as a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization. Temporary ponds that are dry for parts of the year and especially interesting and support a unique community. The availability of water varies from place to place and from season to season. The availability of water is high during rainy season and low during summer. The fluctuation in fauna and flora of pond, lake, river etc., depends mainly upon the nature of the water and the climatic conditions. Samples of pond water was collected and analysed for physico-chemical characteristics to assess the water quality during the period of six months of pre-monsoon and monsoon season (July – December 2012).

Keywords: Pond water, Physical parameters, Chemical parameters, Nutrients and irrigation.
