Abstract:
The present investigation is a pioneer study intended to assess hydrological parameters to evaluate the feasibility of the remote reservoir set amid forested hills, the Dandiganahalli dam for potential Agriculture, Fisheries and Domestic purpose. The Spatio-temporal hydrological parameters were studied for a period of 12 months from February 2022 to January 2023 and were compared with the standard values prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO). Over the years, the lake has not been subjected to human interference leading to deterioration of water quality. Correlation analysis was done between physico-chemical parameters. The pH, Conductance, Alkalinity and Hardness levels indicated moderate quality of water. The values of DO, BOD and COD levels indicated the absence of major organic pollutants. Incidence of alkaline pH and low electrical conductivity may provide suitable climate for the existence of specific indicators.
