An Account Concerning Arrival and Departure Time of Few Selected Environment Conservation Journal 16(3) 1-8, 2015 ISSN 0972-3099 (Print) 2278-5124 (Online) Abstracted and Indexed Comparative analysis of seasonal variations in physico-chemical parameters from Girna, Ozarkhed, Chankapur and Gangapur reservoirs in Nasik district.(M.S.) Rahane Balasaheb1 , Waykar Bhalchandra2 and Bhalla Resham3 Received: 30.07.2015 Revised: 28.09.2015 Accepted: 5.10.2015 Abstract The seasonal physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, chlorides, salinity and electrical conductivity were determined seasonally from Girna, Ozarkhed, Chankapur and Gangapur reservoirs of Nasik district. Results of the present study indicated that the mean values of temperature, pH and total alkalinity were highest in summer season and lowest in winter season, mean values of dissolved oxygen was highest in winter season and lowest in summer season. The mean values of total hardness, salinity, chloride and electrical conductivity were highest during summer season and lowest during monsoon, in surface water sampled from four studied reservoirs. Thus result clearly indicated that the surface water of Girna reservoir was more polluted than other three reservoirs, while surface water of Gangapur reservoir was less polluted than other three studied reservoirs. Keywords: Physico-chemical parameters, reservoir, seasonal variations Introduction Water quality is affected by both point and non- reservoirs of Nasik district. point sources of pollution. These include sewage Study Area discharge, discharge from industries, run-off from Four reservoirs of Nasik district were selected for agricultural fields and urban run-off containing the study.

Nasik, Maharashtra, India A.D. Shelke Department of Zoology, B.P. Arts, S.M.A. Science and K.K.C .Commerce College, Chalisgaon, (North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon), Dist. Jalgaon. 424101, State- Maharashtra, India Abstract: Girna Dam was built on the Girna River in 1969 which is located near the Nandgaon in the Nasik District of Maharashtra state of India. The main purpose of construction of this dam was to provide water for irrigation in surrounding agricultural fields and drinking water supply to the North Maharashtra area. However, as it has good water storage capacity, the reservoir is good source of fish fauna.The present study on ichthyofaunal biodiversity of Grna Dam was carried out from January 2015 to July 2015. During the present investigation, fishes were collected and identified. The aim of this study was to reveal the diversity of fish species in this Dam. There were many fish species collected, here are mentioned only those species which identification work have been completed. In the present study, it was observed that the ichthyofauna belong to 05 order 11 families, 18 genus and 24 species, were Cyprinidae 13 (54.16%) family was dominant followed by Channidae 02 (8.33%), Anabantidae, Nandidae, Ambassidae, Claridae, Bagridae, Schilbeidae, Notopteridae, Parapsilorhynchidae and Platycephalidae, contribute 01 (4.16%) species each. Key words: Freshwater Fish Biodiversity Girna River Girna Dam North Maharashtra Region India INTRODUCTION it is essential to study the distribution and the availability of fish from freshwater reservoirs and tanks [3].

  • Concept Paper on Preparation of City
    CDP of Nashik Municipal Corporation under JNNURM 12. PROJECTS IDENTIFICATION 1. Water Supply 1.1. Existing Status And Source Godavari River flows through Nashik City. As far city water supply is concerned city is traditionally dependent on Godavari River. In 1954 Gangapur dam was constructed. It had a total storage of 7200 mcft. Over a period the storage has been reduced to 5630 mcft. There is a reservation of water in the dam to the extent of only 1194 mcft. Dam water further reserved for MIDC in Nashik and Eklahara thermal power station situated in Nashik. Considering all these reservations of water for non irrigation purposes there is very less water available for irrigation. Over a period right bank canal has fully stopped the irrigation. For making up part irrigation dam is being replenished through upstream dams. One other source is from Darna dam which is about 28 km from Nashilk city is dam was constructed in the year 1934 with storage capacity of 7149 mcft. Presently NMC is having reservation of 350 mcft. in this storage. The NMC is constructing one weir with gets on river Darna near village Chehedi with storage capacity of 144 mcft. From the following tables it can be revealed that Corporation drinking water demand is constantly increasing. Present developed capacity is now becoming inadequate. For future population of 2031 the full capacity remains nearly half the required capacity. For 2021 demand, new source alongwith upstream dams will become obligatory. In the later stage however additional source can be thought of. At present Phase-I work is considered for year 2016.
