A study of Physico-chemical parameters of Waldevi dam water was carried out during February 2015 to January 2016. Waldevi is an earth fill dam situated at the Pimplad village near Nashik city. Physical characters like Temperature, transparency, total dissolved solid, Rainfall and Chemical Parameters like Dissolved oxygen, pH, free carbon dioxide, Hardness (Ca & Mg), Total Alkalinity, Chlorides, and Biochemical oxygen Demand were studied during the study. For this study, water samples were collected after an interval of a month from three selected sites of the dam and were studied with their physico-chemical parameters with standard methods. It is observed that all the selected physico-chemical parameters show seasonal variation and also fluctuated by different anthropogenic activities. Also some of them are interdependent and get changed with other parameters,
