Physico-Chemical Analysis Of Fish Farming Ponds Of Darbhanga, Bihar, India

Abstract

Safe drinking water is a fundamental human right & basic need of individuals. Water quality is an important criteria for productivity of pond. The study was designed to assess the quality of pond water of Dighi Pond & Harahi pond of Darbhanga, Bihar, with reference to physic-chemical parameters including turbidity, conductivity, dissolve O₂, free CO2, PH, potassium, zinc, iron, sodium, chloride and hardness. The results were evaluated and compared with both ponds water quality. It is found that based on physic-chemical parameters, both ponds water is not suitable for fish farming.
