Abstract:
The present study is on "Physico-chemical parameters of Bhima river of Solapur District (Maharashtra)".The Study was carried on from Jan'2022 to Des'2022 atfour selected sampling stations. Monthly variation of Physico-chemical Characteristics of water of Bhima River were studied and it revealed that the water quality is fairly homogeneous and suitable for drinking .Study of zooplankton showed 90 species of zooplankton belonging to 4 different classes.Rotifera 21 species ( 23%) , Cladocera 20 species ( 22%) , Copepoda 22 species ( 24%) , Protozoa 27 species ( 30%).The investigation on Physico-chemical characteristics at different sites revealed it's alkaline Nature , suitable for aquaculture practices. Significant site variations have been recorded due to the interference of sewage and agricultural wastes. All the Zooplankton groups, Rotifera , Protozoans , Copepoda recorded dominance.
