Surface Water Quality Parameters Data of Khadakwasala Reservoir Pune, India

This dataset contains water quality parameters collected from Khadakwasla Reservoir, India, between October 20, 2022, and April 22, 2023. The sampling location coordinates are 18.4390° N and 73.7720° E.

Parameters:

Date of sample collection

pH

Water Temperature (°C)

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) (mg/L)

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) (mg/L)

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (mg/L)

Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) (µg/L)

Turbidity (NTU)

Data collection:

Physical water samples were collected from the reservoir. Turbidity was measured onsite using a standard turbidity meter. All the parameters are measured following the American Public Health Association (APHA) protocol. 

Data format:

The data will be provided in a comma-separated values (Excel) file.

Quality control:

It is not possible to determine the quality control procedures from the information provided.

Additional notes:

The data may be useful for researchers studying water quality in Khadakwasla Reservoir or the surrounding area.

Users of the data should be aware of the limitations of the dataset, including the relatively short sampling period and the lack of information on quality control procedures.
