Abstract
The study of physico-chemical parameters like water temperature, conductivity, TDS, turbidity, pH, chloride, D.O., free CO2, BOD, phosphate, nitrate, and ammonia, were analyzed. The Pearsons coefficient of correlation between physico-chemical and zooplankton were additionally calculated. The zooplankton records nineteen species belonging to four groups and Nauplius larvae. This study found month wise, season wise and annual variation of physico-chemical and biological assessment of Bhiwapur lake water. The high rate of anthropogenic pollution indicates the lake goes toward eutrophication and it may results severe water issue in the study region in near future.
