Abstract
Analysis of important physicochemical characteristics of water from Chitri reservoir, Maharashtra was carried out during January 2009 to December 2009. The study helps in proper utilization of water, agricultural development, industrial development, establishment of aquatic bird sanctuaries, pollution control, and also for improving the biodiversity. The water temperature ranges from 17 to 34°C, pH from 7.3 to 8.1, DO from 6.50 to 10.10 mg/L, total dissolved solids from 40 to 160 mg/L, transparency from 75 to 148 cm and total alkalinity from 24 to 106 mg/L. Free carbon dioxide was totally absent during the entire study period. Chlorides and total hardness of water varied from 30.1 to 45.1 mg/L and 54 to 107 mg/L respectively.
