 ABSTRACT

This research work deals with the study of the physico-chemical parameter of Kot Dam. Dam
water samples were collected from Kot Dam, shakambari conservation reserve, Jhunjhunu
district, Rajasthan (India) in winter season from November 2022 to December 2022. Samples
were examined for physico-chemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved
oxygen (DO), Temperature, Salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS). pH ranged from 7.35 –
8.96, Electrical Conductivity ranged from 122.6 – 202.1 μmhos/cm, Dissolved oxygen ranged
from 0.3 – 0.7 mg/l, Temperature ranged from 13.9 °C – 16 °C, Salinity ranged from 4.1 – 6.6
ppt, TDS ranged from 155.6 – 244.2 ppm. The result of the proposed study will establish some
facts about the use of water for various purposes like domestic and agriculture. Hydrophytes are
an essential link in the aquatic food chain, serving as food for microscopic animals called
zooplankton. As a byproduct of photosynthesis, Phytodiversity also release oxygen into the water
for use by fish and other aquatic animals. In this paper, an approach is proposed to estimate the
physico-chemical parameters of Dam water, which are important factors in controlling
eutrophication using modeling and exploration techniques. In Dam water Hydrophyte plant
diversity are determined using a physico-chemical approach that provides an alternative method
for estimating the diversity. The study revealed that a total of 26 species of hydrophytes
belonging to 9 genera and 11 families were identified. Among these, Cyperaceae was the
dominant family comprising 6 species, out of which, monocots were represented by 9 species
belonging to 3 genera and 3 families; dicots represented by 14 species belonging to 11 genera.

Keywords: Hydrophytes, biological parameters, physico-chemical parameters, in situ testing.
