ABSTRACT:

The present study investigation deals with the study of physio - chemical nature of water from Narmada River selected station Indra Sagar Dam. Monthly variation in water temperature, pH, Chlorinity, Alkanity, Total hardness, DO, BOD, Nitrate, Phosphate were studied during January 2011 to December 2011. Water samples were collected from selected station. Monthly analysis during study period states that throughout the study period water war alkaline in nature. Correlation coefficient was calculated between different pairs of parameters to identify the high correlated and interrelated water quality parameters.

KEYWORDS: Dam Water; Physio-chemical analysis; Narmada River; Correlation Coefficient.
