Limnological study was carried out for the period one year from October 2019 to September 2020 to enumerate the various physico-chemical parameters of Sakalda pond. Water samples were collected from sampling stations every month and were analysed as per standard methods. Minimum value of Total solids, DO and Chloride was recorded in January month and maximum value in June-July months.
