Water Quality Analysis of a Water Resrvoir at Lamana District Ajmer (Rajasthan)

Lamana is the village of Ajmer district of the Rajasthan state. It is situated on National Highway No. - 8 and in the near by area of Aravali mountain range. It is situated at at latitude 26.2399 N and longitude 74.4784 E at an elevation on 479.48 meters above mean sea level on north east region of the Globe. Aquatic ecosystems are historically the sources of life on earth. Global aquatic ecosystems consist of two broad classes - the fresh water ecosystem and marine ecosystem. The study of fresh water ecosystems from the view point of limnological aspects is one of the fascinating areas in the field of aquatic ecosystem. In a fresh water ecosystem, the water is subjected to the influence of wide array of physical and chemical factors, the rise and fall of which directly affect the flora and fauna altering their number and diversity. There is single outlet for the pond water and the only way of water loss from pond appears to be evaporation, which has resulted in accumulation of salts in the pond water. Since, the water of this water body is used for domestic and anthropogenic purposes in the area; therefore attempts were made to calculate the water quality index of the collected samples to explore the utility for livestock, agricultural and other household purposes.
