摘要

Jamwadi village in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, was a famous tourist attraction a decade ago due to its beautiful lake. Now, there is no lake to speak of, thanks to the Raymond factory in Yavatmal, which flows untreated into the lake, located 15 km away. This has severely affected the environment, health, and community life of Jamwadi village and six others in the area, namely Lohara, Yechuri, Tiwsa, Bhoyar, Varaz, and Chani. The paper is based on the results of the physicochemical characteristics of water in the village of Lohara, Jamwadi pond, and chemical analysis of water samples, both surface and groundwater, of Bhoyar village. Water quality is an essential criterion for evaluating the suitability of water for irrigation and drinking. An investigation was carried out to monitor the water. That water gets contaminated by industrial waste, domestic waste insecticide, etc., which is harmful for domestic use. This study aimed to estimate the current status of the physicochemical characteristics of Lower Jamwadi Reservoir in Yavatmal District, Maharashtra. Monthly changes in physicochemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, Colour, Acidity, Alkalinity, total dissolved solids, total solids, total hardness, chlorides, dissolved oxygen, and Chemical oxygen demand were analyzed in September 2014. The results indicated that the physicochemical parameters of the water were within the permissible limits and could be used for domestic, irrigation, and pisciculture.
