Analysis of Jawahar Water Reservoir, Nipani Taluk, Belgaum District, Karnataka

Present investigation was undertaken to assess water quality of Jawahar Water Reservoir of Nipani Taluk, Belgaum District (KA) India. The physical and chemical parameters such as Temperature (17° C-30° C) pH (7.5-8.6) Total Dissolved Solids (151-250.77 mg/l) Dissolved Oxygen (3.5-7.2 mg/l) Carbon dioxide (1.1-8.6 mg/l) Hardness (105-180 mg/l) Alkalinity (86.8-210 mg/l) Transparency (38-64) Calcium (24.63-38 mg/l) Magnesium (10.12-18.6 mg/l) Sodium (9.8-15.2 mg/l) Potassium (1.1-9.2 mg/l) Phosphate (0.12-0.58 mg/l) and Nitrate (0.2-0.75mg/l) were studied for the period of one year from January to December, 2021. Those were interpreted with the help of Correlation matrix and Principal component analysis (PCA).
