Water resources have great importance for the existence of life. Freshwater resources in the plateau area in Sangamner Taluka of Ahmednagar district are limited. Therefore, there is a need of sustainable use of water resources especially lakes. The physicochemical analysis is necessary to know the water quality.  This study aimed at the monitoring of water quality for its sustainable use by assessing the physicochemical parameters of small lakes in the plateau region of Sangamner Taluka. In the present study, the water samples were collected from the spots selected for the study in different seasons. The physicochemical parameters viz. temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved Carbon dioxide, alkalinity, hardness and T.D.S. were recorded by using standard methods. The dissolved oxygen was found in the range of 5.1 mg/L to 7.9 mg/L. The dissolved Carbon dioxide was in the range of 32 mg/L to 48 mg/L. The alkalinity was in the range of 120 mg/L to 330 mg/L. The temperature was in the range of 21oC to 32oC. The hardness was in the range of 58 mg/L to 140 mg/L. Seasonal variations in the physicochemical parameters were observed at different spots. Observations in the present study have emphasized the need to raise awareness among the people for water conservation and management.
