DIFFERENT PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF TWO WORLD FAMOUS WATERBODIES OF KASHMIR(INDIA)

Kashmir valley water bodies have with alkaline character (Ph 7.1-8.9),the high values of pH being the result photosynthetic activity from phytoplanktons. The vertical gradient dissolved oxygen concentrations differs one waterbody to another throughout year. These waterbodies highest Ionic conc. reference Calcium and Phosphate dominating among Anions Cations Mg 3.9-8.1mg/Lwith alkalinity 4-376mg/L. Conductivity was 100-230µs.Due increased abundance phytoplanktonic there an increase in Oxygen saturation but a depletion conductivity (due precipitation calcium carbonate), nutrients like NO3, N reactive silica. variations time depth other chemical species confirm periods mixing indicated by temperature values.
