Abstract
Chorgaon lake is a man made fresh water reservoir at Chorgaon village, in Distt. Candrapur. The present study has been made to investigate the physico-chemical and biological status of the lake. The study involves the physico-chemical analysis like DO, COD, BOD, Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Chloride, Sulphate and Phosphate along with other parameters and quantitative and qualitative analysis of phytoplankton and zooplankton in biological parameters. Samples were collected from four sampling stations of the lake.The results revealed that site S, and S, shows more Nitrogen and Phosphate, which favoured the growth of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Phytoplankton shows dominance of Bacillariophyceae. In zooplankton abundance of Rotifers, Cladocerons & Copepods were observed. The average value revealed that Dioptomus shows dominance in zooplankton and Diatoms in phytoplankton. At other sites parameters remained in constant range showing no much variation thus indicating better quality of water, which was free from pollution
