This review paper was intended to assess the quality of Bhadra reservoir water in Chikmagalur district, Karnataka, with respect to the dynamics of physical parameters including temperature, turbidity and TDS. The results were evaluated and compared with WHO and BIS water quality standards. From the data obtained, it is found that based on these physical characteristics the samples are falling under moderately oligotrophic category and hence suitable for domestic purposes. In most of the months the water samples at Bhadra reservoir were founds to have Temperature, turbidity and TDS values with in the permissible level. On the basis of the limnological analysis, it was found that, physical parameters showed seasonal fluctuations. It has been found that the water can be used for drinking, irrigation and fisheries.
