ABSTRACT
For a duration of Twelve months starting from June 2021 to May, 2022, changes in Temp., pH, dissolved oxygen (DO),
hardness, total alkalinity, chloride, magnesium, and calcium have been studied on monthly basis in Wilson Dam reservoir
Ahmednagar (MS) India. To determine whether this reservoir was appropriate for fish and fishing methods, they were examined.
All of the physicochemical data found showed that the water’s Temp., pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), hardness, total alkalinity,
chloride, magnesium, and calcium fluctuated within acceptable bounds. In contrast, calcium and magnesium levels were extremely
low throughout the study period, whereas chloride levels were higher than ideal during the summer, post-monsoon and low
during the monsoon.
KEY WORDS : Fishing, Seasonal variation, Water Parameter, Wilson Dam.
