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.

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.

Due to rapid population growth, the demand of water for agriculture, industries, domestic use, power generation, etc., is ever increasing. Moreover, the Spatiotemporal distribution of the precipitation is quite uneven. Due to this uncertainty, the dependency on the storages pertaining to a single basin/sub basin may not assure the planned inflow every year. Some basins may have heavy rainfall/spill and others may have deficit. This flooding and draught have adverse socio-economic impact on developing country such as ours. Original Article Recognising this fact Govt. of Maharashtra tasked NWDA (National Water Development Agency) with studying the feasibility of 23 intra-state links proposals to divert the unutilized waters of west flowing rivers i.e Nar, Par, Damanganga, Vaitarna, Ulhas and Patalganga etc. This paper reviews the planning of Nar-Par-Girna interlinking project (DPR cost Rs. 6277.93 Cr.

Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India Dr. AD Shelke PG & Research Department of Zoology, BP Arts, Sci. and Comm. College, Chalisgaon, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India Abstract Present survey was undertaken to report the ichthyofaunal diversity of Girna River. The study was carry out in between January 2016 to April 2016. The fish fauna of River Girna was collected and identified in the present study. A total of 35 fish species belongs to 08 orders, 27 genera of 17 families were recorded. Order Cypriniformes was most dominant group represented by 20 (57.14) species followed by orders Perciformes with 06 (17.14) species. Siluriformes with 03 (8.57) species, Synbranchiformes 02 (5.71) species, Beloniformes 01 (2.85) species, Synodontidae 01 (2.85) species, Scorpaeniformes 01 (2.85) species and Osteoglossiformes 01 (2.85) species. Thus the Girna River has good potential for fish fauna. Out of 35 fish species 29 have least concern status, 01 are near threatened, 02 are Vulnerable, 02 are not evaluated and one is data deficient. This is considered the first study on the ichthyofaunal diversity of Girna River.

It is variable in quality and availability, and fluctuates from season to season and from year to year. Its availability is largely dictated by climate. India is blessed with abundant water resources, which are unevenly distributed in space and time. When one part of the country is reeling under severe water scarcity whereas, floods damage in another part. This creates economic losses as some parts of the country do not have enough water even for raising a single crop and in other parts excess rainfall plays havoc due to floods. Moreover demand for water is ever increasing with the increase in population and water is likely to become one of the limiting resources as well as one with multiple uses. The Girna river originates at Kem Peak in the Western Ghats range of Nashik District, and flows east across Nashik District and is joined by the Mausam River and then east into Jalgaon District where it then swings north to join the Tapti River.

River Linking Project –Jalgaon,Maharashtra
1 RIVER LINKING PROJECT – JALGAON, MAHARASHTRA DOCUMENTATION OF BEST PRACTICE FEBRUARY 2011 Researched and Documented By: OneWorld Foundation India 2 Executive Summary River connectivity is seen as a possible way to equally distribute of water across a geographical region. Conceptually, inter-linking water ways is appreciated by policy practitioners to resolve water problems but the practical ecological concerns usually delay the implementation. Along these lines, India’s National River Linking Project that aims to connect the rivers in the Ganges basin to rivers in western and southern India has been an issue of debate. The displacement of people due to land acquisition is also a cause for concern. Nevertheless, the nationally acclaimed river linking project in Jalgaon has overcome these challenges by exploiting regional strengths in geography and existing infrastructure. This best practice documentation intends to provide insights into the design and achievements of the River Linking Project that has been successful in making adequate water available for irrigation and human consumption throughout the district. Jalgaon, due to its location, receives inadequate rainfall during monsoon season. Inefficient storage facilities also means that reservoirs, canals, and ground water supply are always below the minimum storage level. In 2005, when the district witnessed an almost drought like situation, the local administration felt the need to look for a long term solution. Given that there was already a network of canals and reservoirs to channel the water, interlinking of waterways seemed to be an appropriate solution. Planning looked to restore the capacity of the existing infrastructure and allow for excess water from nearby dams to irrigate water scarce areas.
