Present study undertaken to analyse water quality parameters of Nilje and Goveli ponds in KalyanTaluka for the period of 12 months i.e. from June 2014 to May 2015. Various parameters like pH, Temperature, total hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, total solids, suspended solids, and total dissolved solids, nitrates, phosphates, silicates, CO2, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, salinity and electrical conductivity were analysed as per the methods given in APHA (2005) and Trivedi and Goel (1984).
