D. Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com South Orissa comprises of the undivided districts of Ganjam, Phulbani and Koraput (presently South Orissa divided into eight districts viz., Ganjam, Gajapati, Boudh, Kandhamal, Rayagada, Malkangiri, Nawrangapur and Koraput) was a part of the ancient kingdo m of Kalinga, which finds mention in the Mahabharat, a great epic of India. The district of Ganjam originally formed a part of ancient kingdom of Kalinga which was supposed to have been found in the 19 th century B.C. and which extended from the Bengal frontiers of Orissa to the river Godavari, a distance of about 500 miles. The territory comprising a part of the ancient Atavika land referred to in the special rock inscriptions of Ashoka. Ashoka occupied Kalinga in 261 B.C. but the land of the Atavikas, whic h could not be conquered, remained outside his empire. The formation of the linguistic Province of Orissa in 1936 may be regarded as one of the landmarks in the history of the evolution of the Indian Union. The demand for linguistic States, which became s o conspicuous in India after independence, had its genesis in the movement of the Oriya - speaking people for a separate Province in the basis of language during the later half of the British rule.

Different water quality parameters like SST, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, salinity, sulphate and nutrients like silicate, phosphate (orthophosphate and total phosphate), nitrite, and nitrate were analyzed during the study period. In addition to this special focus was given to plankton diversity and its relation with different hydrological parameters. Variation in water quality as well as in plankton diversity was observed during the study period. The SST value was maximum during the month of September i.e.30.39°C and minimum during March i.e. 26.88°C.
