Water quality is the basic criteria for its use and disuse for human consumption in numerous fields. Not only this, water quality also determines the type of flora and fauna that a water body supports. Thus the water quality determines the fate of any water body which can be estimated by studying the various physico-chemical parameters. These physico-chemical parameters are based on the chemical reactions that take place in the nature under natural conditions. 14 abiotic parameters in this water bodies viz-a-viz depth, air temperature, water temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), free Carbon-dioxide (FCO2), Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorides, Phosphates, Sulphates and Nitrates on monthly basis. The water samples were collected, studied and analyzed from the study sites during January 2015 to December 2015. Pearson correlation was calculated for these parameters which showed their various relations among themselves.
