Water quality parameters such as pH, EC, DO, COD, BOD, TDS, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, chloride, nitrite, phosphate, carbonate, bicarbonate and heavy metals such as zinc, manganese, lead and chromium were analyzed for the water samples collected from the reservoir. The results were compared with the standard values prescribed by IS 10500. The parameters such as SAR, RSC, and Mg hazardous were analyzed and it was found that all these values were within the prescribed limit value. Saturation index values of the water samples analyzed were found to be in the range of 0.3-0.84 indicating, Water is supersaturated with respect to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and scale forming may occur, but non corrosive.</p><p>.  <strong>KEYWORDS</strong>:</p><p>Dams, Thatipudi reservoir water quality, physico-chemical characters</p><p> </p>}, number={2}, journal={Innovare Journal of Sciences}, author={G V S R PAVAN KUMAR and Sanand, V S and Kumar, N Santhosh and Murthy, B Sreerama}, year={2013}, month={Jul.}, pages={20–24} }
