Abstract:
This paper presents the results obtained on thermal ecological studies carried out at Rana Pratap Sagar (RPS) lake during 2002 — 2004. The study includes monitoring of several water quality parameters, biological & bacterial parameters and data on thermal stratification in respect of RPS reservoir. The study reveals that the RPS water is nearly homogeneous and shows weak thermocline and chemocline patterns. Based on monitoring data, the reservoir can be assigned mild eutrophic status.
