ABSTRACT
For survival of biotic factor an abiotic factor i.e. Water is most important natural resource. Nearly 0.3 to 0.4 % of fresh water is available for use to the men. An Aquatic organism requires sufficient and healthy water with nutrients for their survival .Water from Pavanadam is used for drinking by Pimpari-Chinchawad Muncipal Corporation, for agriculture in Maval , for industrial purpose and for domestic use. Pavana dam is located in Maval Tahasil of Pune district. Pavana dam is earth fill gravity dam constructed to fulfill need of drinking and irrigation. In this study the water quality of Pavana dam is assessed by using the physico-chemical parameters Also some zooplanktons were studied. The study was carried out from August 2017 to July 2018. The parameters like Temperature, TDS, Turbidity, PH, Dissolved Oxygen, COD, BOD, Total Alkalinity, Total hardness, Chloride, Sulphates, Phosphates, Calcium and Magnesium has been studied. The mean and SD calculated for statistical analysis. The Physico-chemical analysis will help to assess water quality for utilization for drinking, irrigation, domestic and industrial purpose.
