Abstract
Rivers are lifeline for the agriculture and all other many sectors in our country especially in rural areas of Ahilyanagar district of Maharashtra State. Which is totally having agro based economy therefore present work was undertaken to observe the difference in hydrochemical parameters of the water samples from Mula and Kurkundi rivers from Akole Taluka. It was observed that in Mula river the alkalinity was observed 270 to 410 mgL, acidity was 15 to 20 mgL, dissolved oxygen (DO) was 4.2 to 6.0 mgL, carbon-di-oxide (CO2) 31.9 to 38.2 mgL, hardness was 90.4 to 99.5 mgL, pH was 6.4 to 7.4, temperature was 23 to 27 C and TDS was 284 to 304. From Kurkundi river the alkalinity was observed 230 to 385 mgL, acidity was 10 to 25 mgL, dissolved oxygen was 3.5 to 6.6 mgL, carbon di oxide 31.5 to 35.6 mgL, hardness was 72 to 98.2 mgL, pH was 6.9 to 7.3, temperature was 25 to 27 C and TDS was 265 to 310. This study was undertaken from January 2024 to April 2024.Keywords: Ahilyanagar, Mula, Kurkundi, hydrochemical parameters, agriculture
