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.
