Abstract
The objective of the present study is to determine physico-chemical parameters and heavy metal concentrations in surface water of Pentakli dam. The physico-chemical parameters, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, total hardness, chlorides, salinity and electrical conductivity and heavy metal concentrations Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd and As were determined seasonally from water samples collected from Pen Takli dam. Temperature, pH and total alkalinity was observed highest during summer than monsoon and winter season. The dissolved oxygen was found highest during winter than summer and monsoon season. The total hardness, chloride, salinity and electrical conductivity were observed highest during summer than monsoon and winter season. The heavy metal concentrations were highest during summer season than winter and monsoon season.
