Study the Water Physico-chemical Properties of Four Freshwater Reservoirs from Barishal Sadar Upozilla, Bangladesh

Abstract

This study measured surface water temperature, water pH, TDS, EC, DO, nitrate, ammonium, sulphate and DIP as water physico-chemical properties of four freshwater reservoirs from Barishal Sadar upozilla. The surface water temperature was recorded highest (22.4 °C) in station 4 and loest was in station 1. Water pH, nitrate, ammonium and sulphate showed almost same results among the four reservoirs. TDS and EC values range from 188 to 215 mg/l and 195 to 225 µS/cm, respectively. DO level was almost similar in all the stations except station 1 which showed comparatively lowest amount (4.55 mg/l). DIP ranges from 3.20 to 4.15 mg/l. Among the four reservoirs, comparatively newly established BU pond (station 4) showed poor results than the others.
