Abstract
The present study was conducted to find out the selected water quality parameters of lower Badri stream located in PunjPeer village, district Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The main purpose of this study was to know that the water of the lower Badri stream is suitable for fish survival or not. The duration of the study was four months from May 2019 to August 2019. One sample was collected in each month and then analyzed in the laboratory. The mean value calculated for each parameter were pH (7.11), electrical conductivity (568.32mg/L), total dissolved solids (359.56 mg/L), total hardness (211.54 mg/L), chloride as Cl (44.82 mg/L), sulphate (50.75 mg/L), sodium (34.79 mg/L), nitrite (1.24), total alkalinity (240.89 mg/L), calcium as CaCO3(140.17 mg/L), magnesium (70.84mg/L), potassium (7.92 mg/L). Therefore it was concluded that the concentration of all the parameters were in the normal range and have no adverse effect on the fish growth and survival.
