Shivna river is an important tributary of chambal river. It is Originated in Rajasthan and flows along border of Madhya Pradesh and enters in mandsour district near Achera. The famas templs of lord shiva is situated form mandsour of the river Shivna the present study has been made to investigate the Physico-chemichal parameters of the river Shivna the present study was carried out form the month of Dec. 2008 to Sep. 2010. Sample were collected on seasonal basis form three sampling sites of mandsour i.e. Ramghat dam, Mirzapur dam and Pashpatinath Pond. The Physico-chemichal parameters like temprature, PH, Depth of visibility total hardness,conductivity, T.D.S. nitrate phosphate dissolved oxygen etc. were analysed during the course of study. The study revealed the Pashpatinath site showd higher concentration of nitrate, phosphate due to many domestic activities as compare to other site eutrophication is increasing.

Introduction

The water quality of pond and dam are deteriorating mainly duetue rapid increasing nearor to these places. deforastration, grazing and removal of vegetation cover in the water shed result in silting of reservoir. The agricultural practices in the catchment area not only increase the siltation problem but are also responsible the addition of large quantites of nutreitonts,pesticites and organic metter. The knowledge of physico-chemichal characterstics of water bodies help in planing and succesful management of water bodies to fulfil these criteria present investigation carried out.

Material and Methods

Water sample were collected from three sampling sites.Ramghat dam, Mirzapur dam and Pashupatinath pond. as a seasonal sampling during study period for estimation of various physicochemichal parameters.

The sample were collected and analyzed according to APHA(1998)1 the sample were analysed within few hours of collection.the PH,temprature and D.O,T.D.S.,were measured on the spot while determination of chlorides, phosphates, nitrates,total Hardness etc.were carried out by standerd method given in Table.1

Results and Discussion

Variation of physicochemichal characterstics during Dec2008 to Sep2010 are given in Table -2

Temprature effect many chemichal and biological activities so it is very important.during the study period the temperature of reservoir from 22‘c to33.5‘c,maximum temperature was recorded in summer 2010 at mirzapur dam while it was minimum in winter 2010 at the same site.Depth of visibility and PHwas maximum i.e.34(c.m) 8.9 respectivly at Pashupatinath pond during summer 2010.it was minimum i.e.21(c.m.) 7.3 respectivly at monsoon 2009 at Ramghat dam.

Conductivity was minimum in 0.148(ms/ cm) in monsoon 2010 at Mirzapur dam and maximum 0.270(ms/cm) was recorded in winter 2010 at Ramghat site, the D.O. ranges between 6.2 mg/l to 9.4 mg/l. it was maximum in winer 2010 in ramghat dam site and minimum 6.2 mg/l at the same site. It shows a unique relationship with temperature it means that water has grater capacity to hold D.O.(Hutchinson1957) T.D.S shows maximum 200 mg/l in monsoon 2009 at Pashupatinath while it was minimum 104 mg/l in monsoon2009 at Ramghat dam.

Total alkalinity ranges between 52 to 88 ppm total hardness was found in between 86 to 160 ppm it was minimum in winter 2010 at Ramghat site while maximum in summer 2009 at mirzapur dam site. Phosphates are essential nutrients the presens of these nutrient makes the water bodies suitable for growth of planktons and other fresh water communities the observation revealed that maximum value of phosphate was in Pashupatinath water durring summer 2010 on the other hand. lowest value 0.36 mg/l was observed in Ramghat site during winter 2010. value of nitrate ranges between 0.144 to 0.482 mg/l the maximum value was recorded the mansoon 2010 at Pashupatinath dam site. It was minimum in summer 2009 at Ramghat dam site it show that the water of Pashupatinath pond is much more polluted as compared to other as it is involved in several human and domestic activities
