Abstract
The physico-chemical analysis was carried to assess the water quality of Matatila Dam and results are presented in the paper. Water quality was found impaired with more activities which cause organic pollution. Different physico-chemical parameters were measured by standard methods. From the obtained data it is found that parameters like temperature, pH and DO are more than the limit, while other parameters like BOD, COD and EC were found below the limit. The presence of heavy metals in Matatila Dam were found of the following order: Fe > Mn > Cu > Cr > Ni and are within the limit or below limit of international standard. Based on the study this paper provides the scientific information to the concerned implementation of Matatila Dam restoring and conservation of water bodies.
