Abstract
Assessment of some physico-chemical parameters like water temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, and chlorides were taken. Finally it may be concluded that the water parameters are within permissible limit and support fish diversity in Uma River Basin Dist. Washim (M.S.). Water temperature ranges from 20.1 0C to 27.8 0C the maximum water temperature was recorded in the winter months and maximum in the summer months. pH was observed that pH of water is minimum during winter and higher in summer season. Turbidity of river water result shows all the five stations had different values in all seasons. During study period the total dissolved salts (TDS) was maximum in rainy season (343.5 mg/l) and was minimum during summer (127.4 mg/l). It was observed that the value of D.O. fluctuates from 5.20 mg/l to 11.40 mg/l. The maximum values 11.40 mg/l was recorded in the month of May (summer) and minimum values 5.20 mg/l in the month of December. The maximum values of chlorides recorded during monsoon season while in summer less chloride content was detected.
