Limnological Status of Sarvepalli Reservoir, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh

Present work was carried out to assess the physicochemical parameters of water samples of Sarvepalli reservoir of River Penna during November 2016 to May 2017 for seven months. Various water quality parameters including Air temperature, Water temperature, pH, Turbidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, Free Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Dissolved Oxygen (D.O), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chlorides, (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS and total ammonia were estimated whereas, correlation coefficients between different parameters of both the stations upstream and downstream were also analysed. Water quality of the reservoir is following the drinking water standards concerning turbidity, pH, TDS, total alkalinity, total hardness and total ammonia except for BOD.
