Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the physicochemical properties and heavy metal status of Dingaputa haor water in Netrokona district. Physicochemical parameters like Temperature, Transparency, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Alkalinity of samples were analyzed collected from selected sampling stations. Concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn) in water and selected fish samples (Mystus aor, Ompok pabda, Mystus vittatus and Pseudeutropius atherinoides) were also analyzed. The experiment revealed that the mean values for some physicochemical parameters like TDS, EC, BOD and alkalinity (62.00 mg/l, 368.67µS/cm, 28.67mg/l, 8400mg/l, respectively) were beyond the acceptable limit and others such as Transparency and DO (10.67cm and 2.63mg/l respectively) were under the standard limit whereas average Temperature and pH value for haor water samples were 28.200C and 7.43, respectively. The concentration of some heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd and Ni) in water samples was higher than the standard whereas some (Zn and Cu) remain under permissible limit. In case of fish samples, the concentration of all heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Zn and Cu) was remaining under the permissible limit. The experimental results highlights the quality of water and metal concentration in fish samples in regards to its suitability for different use.
