Abstract

District Aligarh of Western U.P. in North India has diversified seasonal rain fed and sewage fed water bodies. Selected water bodies are ponds approximately 5 km away from university campus. These ponds seem to derelict as they are used just for collecting sewage water coming from the houses. Cattle use them for drinking water bathing and sometimes for grazing. The present study was carried out for 16 months from February 2001 to May 2002 and analysed various physicochemical parameters namely temperature dissolved oxygen pH transparency and nutrients. The study indicated that these water bodies are productive and they can be made useful for fish culture after adopting proper pond management strategies.
