Saikheda Dam, Critical Indicators, Aquatic Life and FertilizersAbstract
Saikheda dam is an earth fill on river Khuni near near Mohodha in Ghatanji Taluka of Yavatmal District, nearest city to dam is Pandharkawada. The dam is Earth fill dam. Purpose of dam is for irrigation. Length of dam is 1740 M. (5708.66 feet) and height of dam above lowest foundation is 23.77 (77.98 feet). The current study based on the physico-chemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nutrient levels nitrate and phosphate serve as critical indicators of water quality in Saikheda dam water body. These factors determine the habitat suitability for aquatic life, phytpplankton diversity amid local stressors like groundwater extraction and fertilizers use common in Maharashtra's agrarian landscapes.
