The manuscript herewith presents the assessment of water quality parameters in the samples drawn in year 2014-15 from Akshar Vihar pond, located centrally in district Bareilly (U.P.), India. Analysis of check parameters chosen, was performed by employing standard procedures laid down in APHA. The minimum to maximum values recorded in each month of the experimental year for pH, total hardness, DO, BOD, COD, calcium and magnesium were 7.2-8.8, 380 - 486mg/L, 4.2-10.6 mg/L, 1.0-1.6 mg/L, 3.8-8.4 mg/L, 52.97-74.84 mg/L and 56.74-72.98 mg/L respectively. Significant correlation was observed for COD with pH (0.816), carbonate (0.875) and bicarbonate (0.927); that of total hardness with magnesium (0.954) as well as of DO inversely with water temperature (-0.821).
