REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Water is one of the most Important Compound to the

Ecosystem. Better Quality of water Described by its
Physical, Chemical and Biological Characteristics. But
some Correlation was Possible among these Parameters
and the Significant One would be Useful to Indicate Quality
of water. Due to Increased Human Population,
Industrialization, Use of Fertilizers in Agriculture and Man-
made activity. The Natural Aquatic Resources are causing
Heavy and varied Pollution in aquatic Environment Leading
to water Quality and Depletion of aquatic Biota. It is
therefore Necessary that the Quality of Drinking water
should be checked at regular time interval because due to
use of Contaminated Drinking water, Human Population
Suffers From a variety of Water Borne Diseases. It is
difficult to understand The Biological Phenomena fully
because the Chemistry of water reveals much about the
Metabolism of The Ecosystem and explain the General
Hydro Biological Relationship. The Physico-chemical
Parameters of water and the dependence of all life process
of these factors make it desirable to take as an environ In
Present Study involves the Analysis of Water Quality in
Terms of Physicochemical Parameters of Benisagar dam,
Turki, Satna (M.P.). The dam water is basically used for
Domestic, Agriculture Purpose and Fisheries Activity. In
India Still now several Researchers have done Study on
Physicochemical and Biological characteristic of Standing
and Running Water Resources (Pandey, et al. 1993, Trivedy
and Goel, 1986, Kushram, 2016, Meshram, 2015 and
Shukla et al. 2016.).

Our knowledge about the limnological study of

tropical pond, reservoirs, tanks and lakes is still very
scanty. Limnological studies started with the work of F.A.
Forel (1985) who is regarded as the father of "Modern
limnology". He determined the oxygen in the deep water of
lakes Geneva and showed that there was a little difference
between the surface and bottom values.

After a long gap the interest for limnological works

have been generated among Indian workers. The studies
covered the different aspects of lotic and lentic water
impoundments with ecological variation, water quality
controls, fisheries problems and sewage water utilization. It
was followed by Ganpati (1960, 1962), and Sreenivasan
(1968b, 1969, 1970) on the South Indian water bodies.

Our knowledge about the limnological and

hydrobiological study of tropical rivers, reservoirs, ponds
and lakes is still very scanty. Limnological studies started
with the work of F.A. Forel (1985) who is regarded as the
father of Modern limnology. He determined the oxygen in
the deep water of lakes Geneva and showed that there was
a little difference between the surface and bottom values.

 The most important factor in the field of Ichthyology
is, their surrounding environment i.e., Water quality and
biological status. The study of fresh water quality is termed
as limnology. A lot of scientific researchers have been done
in this field.

Pioneer studies have been done by Zafar (1966) on

limnology of Hussain sagar pond, Hyderabad, Mackenthum
(1966) a biological evaluation of Polluted streams, an
diurnal variation in physico-chemical factors and
zooplankton in some fresh water ponds.

Shinde et al. (2010) studies on the physico-chemical

parameters and correlation coefficient of Harsool-savangi
Dam, District Aurangabad, India. Chandra et al. (2012)
studied the assessment of water quality values in Porur Lake
Chennai, Hussain Sagar Hyderabaad and Vihar Lake
Mumbai, India.

Several workers have studied lentic ecosystem in

India with reference to physico-chemical status and
primary productivity (Sharma and Durve, 1991; Jain,
1997; Sharma et al. 2000; Rani et al. 2007; Vijayvergia et
al., 2007). Major studies of limnology were concentrated on
Pushkar lake region in Ajmer district (Kar, 1986; Patni et
al., 2006) studies on Physico-chemical status and primary
productivity of Ana Sagar Lake, Ajmer (Rajasthan), India.
Mohapatra and Patra (2012) studies on primary
productivity of Bay of Bengal at Puri sea-shore in Orissa.

 Singh, Pushpa (2013) has been study on Water
quality assessment of Bada talab of Rewa using NSF-WQI.

The physico-chemical and microbiological analysis of

drinking water of different sampling stations of Amravati
city particularly from the open wells, tube wells, hand
pumps, tape water, water reservoirs (lakes) around the city
and also from the public places like schools, college,
hospitals, commercial places and govt. offices indicates
that the water other than tapwater and tube well water is
13
not suitable for drinking and domestic purpose due to high
total solids (TDS) and hardness. The microbiological study
of water samples of different sampling stations indicates
that except bore well, hand pumps and tapwater, all other
sources of water containing high concentration of coliform.
The highest number of coliforms can be favours the growth
of bacterial population. Our results are well in agreement
with Gnana and Johnson (1998). The presence of
pathogenic microbiological organisms are responsible for
causing the different types of water bone diseases like
diarrhea dysentery, gastrointestinal disorders, typhoid,
paratyphoid, hepatitis and cholera to the human beings.
Our observations are well in agreement with earlier
workers (Sharma and Mathur, 1994, Sharma et al., 1997
and Mishra, Anjana 2016).

Kashyap (2016) has been study on Physico-chemical

analysis of various water samples of Rewa district (M.P.)
India.

Dwivedi (2016) has been study on Assessment of

Physico-Chemical Quality of Soil in Rewa District of
Madhya Pradesh.

A review of the above literature reveals that not much

work has been undertaken in the field, particularly in the
Indian subcontinent. Therefore the present study was
aimed to fill the gap in our knowledge about the
"PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF DRINKING WATER
OF MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AREA OF REWA (M.P.)".
