Assessing the Impact of Water Quality Parameters on Fish Farming and Agriculture in Bagh River Deori District, Maharashtra (India)

Abstract

The Bagh River is positioned on Sirpur Reservoir. This rivulet divides the adjacent border areas of the two states Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh. Bagh River is not only a border river; it is also proving to be perfect from the point of view of drinking water and agriculture.  Fish ranching on this river is basically based on conventional methods, in the past years it has supplied water for irrigation and drinking water to two states, the selected place for companion study has been selected around the dam which is similar to the one that occurs in nature. To determine the sudden change, chemical and physical factors are used for water testing, such as TDS (Total Dissolve Solid), pH, DO (Dissolve Oxygen), Turbidity, Conductivity, BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), etc., impurities. Efforts to remove this will prove beneficial not only for the present time but also for the future of fish farming and drinking water and will also reveal the path to increase the production capacity of fish farming. In the entire selected area that has been identified around the dam, this limit can be reduced as per the study, eliminating the need for excessive testing of water quality and purity for drinking purposes. Considering the past as the basis of this river, the present and future are envisioned for fisheries, agriculture and drinking water; we can try to calculate the figures to be considered according to the security of this overall area.
