Abstract

The present study was conducted to assess the physico-chemical analysis of the two fresh water ponds located in Hajipur, Vaishali, Bihar and effects of sewage pollution from the drains of surrounding areas. The study was carried on from January 2018 to December 2018. The range of variation for some physico - chemical parameters like dissolved O2, free CO2, Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Alkalinity, Calcium, Chloride Phosphate, Nitrate and BOD was studied for both the ponds. These parameters show a marked difference between two fresh water ponds depending upon the quality and nature of sewage pollution.
