Abstract
Gopalpura tank is one of the artificial water bodies of Guna (M. P.). It is used mainly for irrigation and pisciculture by the nearby villagers. Diurnal variations in physico-chemical factors such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, free CO,, alkalinity and plankton (phytoplankton as well as Zooplankton) of the tank were studied. Fluctuations were found in water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, free CO and alkalinity. Free CO and alkalinity exhibited a negative relationship with the temperature. Abundance of plankton also showed a distinct diurnal variation.
