Hydrological Study of Shirol Freshwater Body from Kolhapur District, Maharashtra (India)
Abstract: The present attempt was made to reveal the physico-chemical characteristics of Shirol perennial freshwater body from Kolhapur District (MS) from India. Various physico-chemical parameters were noticed during the period of July 2014 to June 2015 and various parameters like Temperature, Transparency, pH, Electrical Conductivity, Free CO2, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Total Alkalinity, Chlorides and Dissolved Oxygen were analyzed monthly from surface water of reservoir. Results revealed that Temperature, Transparency, pH, Electrical Conductivity, Free CO2, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Total Alkalinity, Chlorides and Dissolved Oxygen were showed monthly variations. All the parameters were within the acceptable limit hence, the study has concluded that water from reservoir is suitable for drinking and fishing purpose and recommended for commercial fishing.
