The present work deals with the study of water quality parameters of various reservoirs of Marathwada region. Water samples were collected from, Majalgaon dam (Beed dist.); Yeldari, Siddheshwar and Masoli dams (Parbhani dist.); Vishnupuri dam (Nanded dist.), Nathsagar (Aurangabad dist.) during the period from January to February, 2017. Samples were analyzed for various parameters and obtained range temperature (23 - 26 0C)., pH (7.5 - 8.1), dissolved oxygen (4.7 - 7.5 mg/lit), free carbon dioxide (3.2 -10.6 mg/lit), chloride (41.4 -76.0 mg/lit), total dissolved solids (207- 402 mg/lit), total hardness (59.43 – 147 mg/lit), calcium hardness (49.2 – 262 mg/lit), magnesium hardness (1.71 - 27.94 mg/lit). This study provides the comparative data of water quality parameters of various water bodies of Marathwada region. The present obtained values are suitable for fish rearing.
