ABSTRACT
Physico-chemical characteristics of Parichha dam reservoir of Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh have been studied. The
water temperature varied between 23.0 to 37.00C. The transparency, pH, chlorides and total hardness were in the range
of 100 to 145 cm, 7.8 to 9.2, 42.0 to 59.17 mg/l and 100-197 mg/l respectively. The total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen and
total dissolved solids ranged between 193 to 389, 5.2 to 8.6 and 90 to 310 mg/l respectively. The study revealed that the
reservoir water is suitable for fisheries.
Key words : Fisheries, Jhansi, Reservoir, Uttar Pradesh, Water quality.
