ANALYSIS OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF KINNERASANI RESERVOIR WATER IN BHADRADRI KOTHAGUDEM DISTRICT OF TELANGANA, INDIA

The water quality parameters such as Temperature, pH, Dissolved oxygen, Alkalinity, hardness, Phosphates and Nitrates were reported from Kinnerasani reservoir. The degree of water quality parameters was measured by the simple correlation coefficient (r) that is presented as correlation matrix. The pH has been found to show positive correlation with water temperature (r=0.3855), negative correlation with alkalinity (r=- 0.2207) and TDS (r=-0.4682). Strong correlation has been found to show with DO (r=0.553), turbidity (r=0.505) and Nitrates (r=0.858). The Dissolved Oxygen strongly correlated with hardness and nitrates. Seasonal fluctuations were observed in various physico-chemical parameters. The water quality parameters indicate that the reservoir is rich in nutrients and favourable for plankton and fish growth.
