Physico-chemical Analysis of some major ponds in relation to fish production of district Kaushambi Uttar Pradesh

Present study is aimed to explore the physico-chemical characteristics of four major ponds of district Kaushambi. There are many ponds in district Kaushambi. Most of the ponds have been devastated due to anthropogenic activities. The ponds which are selected for the study are three from Ichhna village and one from Saraiakil village in Nevada block of tehsil-Chail in Kaushambi. The three ponds from Ichhna village are Telan, Potaniha and Khewkhar and one pond from Saraiakil village are selected. The physico-chemical parameters are water transparency, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ph., Free CO2, alkalinity and total solids etc. The study was conducted during the month of March 2021 to February 2022. It was noted to have alkaline water throughout the year. The biodiversity and the production of fish depend upon the physico-chemical characteristics of the ponds.
