The present paper investigated the Physico-chemical parameters of the lotic water body Shipra, including its two sites (Site 1- Kainchi, Site 2- Garampani) for six months (October 2020-March 2021) of Nainital District in Uttarakhand. Monthly variations in the physical and chemical parameters at site-1 such as-- Atmospheric Temperature 14.1-26 C, Water Temperature 11-15 C, pH 7-8.3, Total Dissolved Solids 76-92 ppm, Transparency 36- 78 cm, Dissolved oxygen 6.04-9.26 mg/l, Phosphate 0.25-0.43 mg/l and Nitrate 0.34-1.63 mg/l and similarly for site-2 Atmospheric Temperature 9-24 C, Water Temperature 10-18 C, pH 8.2-8.7, Total Dissolved Solids 111-132 ppm, Transparency 31-58 cm, Dissolved oxygen 8.05-9.26 mg/l, Phosphate 0.11-0.32 mg/l and Nitrate 0.32-0.55 mg/l were observed. All the parameters of site-1 and site-2 were within the acceptable limit except for the pH value at site-2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
