Physicochemical characteristics and zooplankton diversity in a Beehar River at Rewa district (M.P.) India


Author(s): Dr. Arvind Kumar Pathak and Deepak Pathak

Abstract: The primary objective of the existing investigation was to evaluate the water quality of the Beehar River situated in the densely inhabited region of Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. Over a span of six months, spanning from January 2023 to June 2023, specimens were procured for examination. These specimens underwent analysis for various physicochemical parameters in accordance with the established guidelines outlined by APHA (1998). These parameters included pH, temperature, hardness, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, electrical conductivity, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate, and others. The recorded values for these parameters were notably above the specified benchmarks recommended by diverse organizations like BIS (1991) and WHO (1997), signifying the contaminated condition of the water. Furthermore, an investigation on zooplankton was executed using a separate batch of samples from the same site, which unveiled a limited variety and concentration of zooplankton, thereby implying the elevated pollution levels in the river water.
