Study of Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Ganesh Tank, Miraj, District Sangli, Maharashtra

Physico-chemical parameters of Ganesh tank water were studied monthly during December 2007 to November 2009 for determination of water quality. Various parameters such as atmospheric temperature, water temperature, pH, electric conductivity, transparency, DO, free CO₂, alkalinity, hardness of water, chlorides, nitrates and phosphates. The results revealed that there was significant seasonal variation in some physico-chemical parameters and some parameters like hardness, chloride and solids were at higher side of drinking water limits indicating polluted quality of water.
