ABSTRACT
The current study’s goal was to assess Pilandri Reservoir’s water quality in District Bhandara, Maharashtra, India. The location of Pilandri Reservoir is 20°55'25.92" N latitude and 79º46’33.32" E longitude. The 12-month study period ran from April 2024 to March 2025. Temperature, pH, conductivity, transparency, total alkalinity, total solids, total hardness, free O2, CO2, BOD, COD, chloride, sulphate, phosphate, and nitrate were among the physico-chemical parameters that were tracked on a monthly and seasonal basis. All the parameters were within the acceptable ranges. The obtained results for the physico-chemical parameters show that the reservoir is clean and appropriate for usage in residential areas, farming, fishing, and wildlife drinking.
