Physicochemical parameters, Nagzira-Navegaon (NN) corridor, Gondia, Lakes, Conservation.Abstract
The present study deals with the physicochemical parameters of five selected lakes in Nagzira Navegaon corridor in Gondia district of Maharashtra State. The wetlands are utilized for irrigation, agriculture, pisciculture and domestic purposes. The wetlands situated in the corridor fulfil the water requirement of wild animals during their movement from one protected area to another in the central Indian landscape. It is an urgent need to assess the physicochemical parameters. The physicochemical parameters of five selected lakes were analyzed from October 2014 to September 2016. The results discovered that there was significant seasonal variations in some physicochemical parameters, Water Temperature ranges from 22.80 ± 0.20 at Rengepar lake during winter season to 29.89 ± 0.19 at Umarzari lake during summer, pH ranged from 7.12±0.01 to 8.08±0.04, it was minimum 7.12 during winter season from Rengepar lake and maximum 8.08 during summer season at Umarzari lake, Conductivity values were differ from 0.17 ± 0.02 during winter season at Putli lake to 0.34 ± 0.01 during summer season at Rengepar and Chulbandh lake., Transparency values fluctuates from 37.87 ± 0.55 during monsoon season at Putli lake to 75.25 ± 0.02 during summer season at Rengepar lake, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) values varied from 5.69 ± 0.03 during monsoon season at Chulbandh lake to 9.14 ± 0.09 during winter season at Putli lake, Carbon di Oxide (CO2) values differ from 3.04 ± 0.05 during winter season at Putli lake to 4.66 ± 0.04 during summer season at Naktya lake, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) values differ from 6.23 ± 0.18 during winter season at Putli lake to maximum 12.83 ± 0.13 during summer season at Umarzari lake, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) values varied from 20.26 ± 0.03 during winter season at Umarzari lake to 35.90 ± 0.11 during summer season, Phosphate values differ from 0.34 ± 0.01 during winter season at Naktya lake to 0.90 ± 0.01 during summer season at Rengepar lake and Nitrate values varied from 0.43 ± 0.03 during winter season at Putli lake to 1.04 ± 0.03 during monsoon season. Regular monitoring of water quality parameters can help to conserve the freshwater ecosystem.
