WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF BADA TALAB RESERVOIR OF BURHAR TEHSIL OF SHAHDOL DISTRICT WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO POLLUTION LOAD ON PLANKTON DIVERSITY

Understanding the ecological health and managing reservoirs sustainably require accurate measurement of water quality. This study focuses on the evaluation of the water quality in a particular reservoir situated in the Bada Talab near Druga mandir, Burhar Tahsil of Shahdol District. In the rainy season the water was collected and the physic-chemical parameters was evaluated. Since planktons are crucial indicators of ecosystem health, particular focus on the pollution load and its effects on plankton diversity were driven. In order to help in the creation of effective conservation and management measures, the study intends to shed light on the current condition of water quality, identify sources of pollution, and assess their impact on plankton variety.
