Abstract: Heavy metals are derived from agricultural operations and industrial sewages ultimately find their ways into a variety of different water bodies and can produce a range of toxic effects in aquatic organisms, ranging from alternations to a single cell up the charges in whole population. The present study reports on the heavy metal concentrations in various places including station I and station II of Pudukulam pond, Pudukkottai. These two stations were exposed to heavy metal contaminated water system. The heavy metals like Cu, Zn, Mn, MI, Cr, Al, So, Li and K were determined in the water samples. All the heavy metals were seasonally varied, and their concentrations were under permissible level in the water samples of both stations.
