Abstract
Wetlands are probably one of our most important natural and fresh water resources on this earth. This paper deals with the evaluation of physico-chemical parameter of Deepar Beel wetland in Kamrup District, Assam. The physico-chemical parameters play a vital role in the wetland ecosystems. Seasonal Changes in Physical and Chemical Parameters such as Water Temperature, pH, Conductivity, Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical oxygen demand, Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorides, Nitrates and Total Dissolved Solids were analyzed for a periods of one year. A slight variation in some of these parameters in some stations was observed throughout the study period. The water quality of Deepar Beel wetland revealed that the water of this beel was good except few areas due to the inflow of effluents from the neighboring areas.
