Reservoirs have social and economic importance for humans, as they bring industrial, agricultural and urban development, contributing with hydroelectricity and supplying water for human consumption and irrigation. Uttarmand is a medium irrigation project constructed across the river Uttarmand, a tributary of Krishna river in Patan Tahsil of Satara district in Maharashtra. Various anthropogenic activities adversely affect physicochemical parameters of the water. Thus, water quality assessment from selected sampling stations of the reservoir was carried out from January, 2019 to December, 2019. The water quality parameters analyzed includes temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolve solid (TDS), total hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, free CO2, dissolved oxygen, BOD, phosphate and nitrate. Variation in physicochemical parameter was observed which gives baseline information in water quality monitoring strategies.
