NANDITA PRIYA, M S ISLAM, V. K. PRABHAT

Abstract

The Present communication deals with certain physic-chemical parameters of Ramshila pond at Gaya District in different time's intervals. Ramshila hill was located on the southeast side of gaya and is said to be the site of lord Rama’s panda offering. There are a number of antique stone carving on and around the hill that to the presence of prior building or temples and near by the one pond. i.e ramshila pond associated with the bygone era. The physico-chemical parameters such as, pH, temperature, calcium, phosphate, alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, Floride, iron and sulphate, were estimated in the samples to evaluate their quality. Concentration of BOD, DO, Total hardness, Calcium, sulphate, alkalinity, phosphate, iron and chloride are within permissible limits and Iron, phosphate are negligible in comparison to permissible limits .The proper treatment necessary before the use for drinking purposes and irrigation purposes.
