Abstract
The present paper deals with the seasonal study of physico-chemical parameters of Gauripada pond, Kalyan, Maharashtra and to calculate water quality index (WQI) which will helps to understand quality of water. Water Quality Index, represents water quality in terms of index number, which is useful representation of overall quality of water for public as well as government authority to understand status of water body for their management. In the present study water quality index was calculated on the basis of seasonal study of physico-chemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, suspended solids, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, nitrate, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand.
