The physico-chemical characteristics of Jayakwadi dam water has been studied during Jan 1989 to Dec 2010. Seasonal variations in water quality parameters in rainy, winter and summer seasons are observed. The result revealed that there were significant seasonal variations in some physico-chemical parameters and "WQI". An attempt has been made to develop water quality index (WQI), using water quality parameters such as Turbidity, pH, Chlorides, Free saline ammonia as N, Albuminoid Ammonia as N, Dissolved oxygen, Nitrate, Total hardness , Total dissolved solids, Fixed Solids, Iron (Fe),...
