Abstract

The study was designed to assess the quality of three fresh water ponds of district Aurangabad, Bihar, during the period of one year from Dec 2014 to Nov 2015. The three ponds under investigation namely Pond I (Umgaa), Pond II (Ranipokharadeo ) & Pond III (Patalganga) have historical and religious value. The study was conducted with respect to the Physico-chemical parameters of pond water including Temperature, pH, TA (Total alkalinity), Free CO2, DO (Dissolved oxygen), EC (Electrical conductivity), Transparency, and BOD (Biological oxygen demand) by following the standard protocols. The study was also conducted with respect to the Physico-chemical parameters of pond bottom sediments/soil including pH, OC (Organic carbon), N (nitrogen), P (Phosphorus) and K (Potassium) to observe the nutrient status of ponds. The results of the data obtained in various seasons, were evaluated and compared for all three selected ponds to quantify overall pond water quality status of the area for its possibility of being utilized as aquaculture. The Relative abundance of Macro-invertebrate species recorded from all the three ponds was also quantified. Since a reciprocal and manifold relationship exists between the macro-invertebrate fauna and macrophytic weed community of the pond ecosystem,. the macrophytic weed infestation condition of the pond was also analyzed.
