4.2.8 Specific conductivity
The pattern of seasonal variation in respect of specific conductivity in the studied beels showed relatively higher values in summer, while low in the monsoon. The Specific conductivity has shown mean values of 263.7 µS/cm and 472.3 µS/cm for Saguna and Kole wetland. The Specific conductivity has shown minimum and maximum values 412 µS/cm (Sept 2012) and 590 µS/cm (May 2012) in open type and 222 µS/cm (Sept 2012) and 340 µS/cm (June 2012) during the months in closed type. Then the analysis of variance revealed that there was a month-wise and wetland type-wise significant difference in Specific conductivity (Table-4.2.1 & 4.2.2). The Kole wetland has shown significantly higher values of Specific conductivity in comparison with Saguna (Figure - 4.2.8.1).
4.2.9 Dissolved oxygen:
The Dissolved oxygen has shown mean values of 7.5 ppm and 7.7 ppm for Saguna and Kole wetland. The Dissolved oxygen has shown minimum and maximum values 6.9 ppm (August 2012) and 8.4 ppm (Dec 2011 and Jan 2012) in open type and 6.4 ppm (August 2012) and 8.3 ppm (February 2012) in closed type. Then the analysis of variance revealed that there was a month-wise and wetland type-wise significant difference in Dissolved oxygen (Table-4.2.1 & 4.2.2). The Kole wetland has shown significantly higher values of Dissolved oxygen in comparison with Saguna (Figure - 4.2.9.1.).
