ABSTRACT
We investigated the diversity of zooplankton fish in relation to specific physical, chemical, ionic, and biological studies conducted on the Wainganga River. Water and fish samples were collected from five different sample locations for research purposes. Purpose: This research article aims to study water quality testing and fish diversity in the Chamorshi tehsil of Gadchiroli, Maharashtra. Methods: Fish samples were rated qualitatively and quantitatively and water samples were analyzed for various physical, chemical, ionic, and biological studies by APHA. Results: The data showed that there were several differences in water quality with respect to physicochemical, ionic properties. The results obtained throughout the one-year of study showed that the water quality standard was normal and within the permissible limit as stated by ISI standards. Conclusions: The research facilities are located in remote, tribal, and natural areas. Therefore, the burden of pollution is minimal. The place is clean. The study focused on drinking, livestock, agriculture, irrigation, and fishing. Keywords: Fish Diversity, Drinking water, Chamorshi, Gadchiroli, Physical, Chemical, Ionic Parameters
