4.2.14 Chloride
The chloride has shown mean values of 20 ppm and 34 ppm for Saguna and Kole wetland. The chloride has shown minimum and maximum values 26.5 ppm (Sept 2012) and 39.5 ppm (March 2012) in open type and 9.23 ppm (Sept 2012) and 24.4 ppm (June 2012) in closed type. Then the analysis of variance revealed that there was a month-wise and wetland type-wise significant difference in chloride (Table-4.2.1 & 4.2.2). The Kole wetland has shown significantly higher values of chloride in comparison with Saguna (Figure-4.2.14.1).
4.2.15 Silicate-silica
The distribution of silicate-silica of water showed distinct seasonal variation. Both the beels exhibited more or less similar variation patterns. The silica has shown mean values of 7.1 ppm and 7.0 ppm for Saguna and Kole wetland. The silica has shown minimum and maximum values 4 (May. 2012) and 10.1 ppm (September 2011) in open type and 4 ppm (May 2012) and 10.8 ppm (August, September 2012) in closed type. Then the analysis of variance revealed that there was a month-wise and wetland type-wise significant difference in silica (Table-4.2.1 & 4.2.2). The Kole wetland has shown significantly higher values of silica in comparison with Saguna (Figure-4.2.15.1).
