abstract
The current research work was conducted to find out the water quality of Jawai Dam of Pali in Western Rajasthan. Attempt has been made to assess the status of current physico- chemical parameter of water of Jawai dam and its correlation with primary production and to suggest proper management practice for getting the optimum production. Level of orthophosphates-0.024±0.002mg l^-1, nitrate-nitrogen 0.016±0.002mg l^-1, was recorded during study period which was low. Relatively low level of nutrients in the Jawai dam acclaims it in the category of low to moderate productive nature of water. From the present it can be concluded that the water of the reservoir can be used for the agriculture and fisheries as well as for the drinking purpose.
