Abstract

Khandwa District is situated in the south west part of the Madhya Pradesh, along the border of state Maharashtra. With increasing water demand in 1897, Moghat reservoir was constructed specially to store the rain water so that water requirement of the near by area can be fulfilled. This reservoir is very important for local people but no much information on quality of water is available.
