Abstract: Physico-chemical parameters of water are essential indicators of the quality of a water body. They reflect the interaction between water and its surrounding environment and are crucial for monitoring aquatic health, water treatment, and pollution levels. Karmaveer Kannamwar reservoir (Dena Project) is one of the major irrigation projects in the district Gadchiroli of Maharashtra, India. The Karmaveer Kannamwar Reservoir (Regadi) data, spanning two consecutive years (2014-15 and 2015-16), provides valuable insight into the water?s quality at three distinct sites (S1, S2, and S3). This analysis focuses on examining changes in various physico-chemical parameters over the two years. Analysis of physico-chemical parameters of water was done using the standard literature of APHA et al. (2005) and Trivedi & Goel (1986). In the present study physico-chemical characteristics of water like temperature, pH, dissolve oxygen (DO), free carbon dioxide (CO2), Turbidity, Conductivity, Hardness, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, sulphates, nitrates and phosphates were analyzed. Ambient temperature in the present study were recorded between 21.9 0C to 43.8 0C, water temperature recorded between 18.2 0C to 39.6 0C, pH of water found between 6.89 to 8.78. Electrical conductivity in the present study was recorded between 0.159 Mmhos/cm to 0.387 Mmhos/cm., water transparency between 28.8 cm to 79.1 cm., total alkalinity between 121 mg/l to 247 mg/l., total hardness between 82 mg/l to 173 mg/l., Ca-hardness 39 mg/l to 97 mg/l., Mg-hardness 32 mg/l to 86 mg/l., total solids (TS) 264 mg/l to 682 mg/l., total dissolved solids (TDS) 157 mg/l to 563 mg/l. Dissolved oxygen in the present investigation recorded between theranges of 6.14 mg/l to 10.30 mg/l., free CO2 estimated between 1.82 mg/l to 6.82 mg/l. The reservoir water shows seasonal fluctuations in various physico chemical parameters. All water parameters were within permissible limit according WHO and ISI standard for drinking purpose during the study period and can be categorized into oligotrophic nature.
