📄 Abstract
Seasonal variability influence water chemistry and biota and health assessment of the water ecosystem depend primarily on water quality monitoring. In the present study, temporal trends of the major biological and physicochemical constituents of pond ecosystem were investigated at seven successive sampling seasons. The findings show enormous fluctuation in dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), nutrient concentration, and phytoplankton and zooplankton counts, all of which indicate active season ecological dynamics. Like the findings from current water quality dynamic research, high turbidity and total dissolved solids (TDS) during some months indicate repeated sedimentation and runoff impact. In addition to that, the interaction of nutrient loading with algal bloom also highlights the need for adopting sustainable water resource management. The need for adopting sustainable water quality management has been highlighted in this study by raising the need for monitoring continuously so that balance may be maintained in aquatic ecosystem and sustainable water quality management may be achieved.
