Hydrobiological study of Bendsura River at district Beed (M.S.) India with reference to fisheries

Abstract

Hydrobiological studies of Bendusara River were carried out for a period of one year from January 2019 to December 2019 from three different stations at Beed (MH). The parameters taken included the water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, calcium, carbon dioxide, BOD, alkalinity, chlorides, total hardness and total dissolved solids. 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 Bendusara River at Beed. 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.
