PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF KARANJI LAKE WATER MYSORE, KARNATAKA, INDIA
The physico-chemical parameters like hardness, concentration of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ ions, pH, alkalinity, TDS etc of Karanji lake water were studied. The results obtained by the analysis were compared with WHO and ISI standards. These results suggest the deteriorating status of the lake water. To keep it alive and usable a routine analysis of lake water is suggested by the authors at least once in a month. This will be helpful for the lake authorities to safe guard the lake water and keep its impurities levels under check. This study will also bring awareness among the people to maintain a healthy and green environment. These water bodies are very precious and there water should be saved from pollution.
Sampling of the Physico-chemical factors from two stations on the surface water of Kukkarahalli Lake in Mysore City-India was carried out biweekly over a period of 3 months of 2014. The aims were to determine some Physico chemical parameters of water pollution. Temperature was measured using mercury in glass thermometer. Dissolved oxygen was determined by modified Winkler azide method while Phosphate was determined by Vendo Molybdate Method, Estimation of Sulphate as Sulphur in sample by Nephelometric Method, measurements of total hardness by Complexometric Method. The result revealed that the major causes of water quality deterioration were related to excess usage of fertilizers and chemicals for increasing yield of the crop or releasing the sewage into the lake, due to cumulative effect of human activities where in sewage disposal oxygen is used in decomposing these organic water, eutrophication which causes algal bloom and therefore inability of oxygen to adequately dissolved in the water or the lentic nature of the site where was no serious upturns. As this Lake also used to be a source of water supply to the city of Mysore, and today is a house of different variety of birds, animals, plants and fishes it is very essential to stop sewage disposal and illegal excessive land encroachments to eliminate the eutropohication of the lake, which this results of the Physico-chemical examination of this lake could be helpful in the management of the lake for its water quality and fisheries.
PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF WATER QUALITY OF KHALTI LAKE GUPIS, GHIZER, PAKISTAN (A CASE STUDY
Water intended for human consumption as well as aquatic life (fishes) should be "safe" and "wholesome" i.e. free from pathogenic agents and harmful chemicals, pleasant to taste and usable for domestic purpose. The study area selected was Khalti Lake of Gupis, District Ghizer. The physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, turbidity and total hardness, total alkalinity were studied to analyze the potable water quality of the lake. The data showed variations in all analyzed parameters i.e. temperature , alkalinity 45-60[mg/L] and Calcium Hardness 50-70[mg/L]. The points 3 and 5 were found more turbid and polluted as these both sites located near the villages and the the drained sewage from agriculture fields and houses is the main cause of lake pollution. Extent of pollution that has occurred due to urbanization, anthropogenic activities and increased human interventions in the water bodies have been ascertained. The lake water donot meet the WHO guidelines and not suitable for drinking without treatment. The water pollution is also major cause for fish decline in the area.
A systematic study has been carried out to assess the Water Quality Index of Chandola Lake, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Water samples from ten sampling sites were collected and analyzed for physico-chemical parameters (electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, pH, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate and biological oxygen demand). The study area experiences a seasonal climate and broadly divided into three seasons as monsoon (June to September), winter (October to January) and summer (March to May). The samples were collected and analyzed for one year from September 2013 to August 2014. Each parameter was compared with the standard desirable limit of that parameter in lake water as prescribed by different agencies. The analytical data of various physico-chemical parameters indicates that some parameters like total dissolved solids, pH, alkalinity, total hardness and calcium was beyond the permissible limit according to WHO and BIS standards for drinking purpose in the year. The WQI value indicates that water samples of summer and monsoon season were unsuitable for drinking.
WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF DALVOY LAKE WATER, MYSORE, KARNATAKA, INDIA
Healthy lakes indicate healthy and eco friendly life style of the people in its neighbourhood. Lakes play a pivotal role in maintaining the ecological balance. Lake water is generally used for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. Therefore, it should be free from the pollutants and Dalvoy Lake water is no exception as it is life line for the people of nearby four villages around it. Although, the lake is situated at the outskirts of the city of Mysore, but its water is getting mixed with urban runoff, underground drainage and sewage water from the city. This made authors curious to study its Water Quality Index (WQI) with an objective to assess the quality of water for human consumption. Thus the water quality parameters like Mg 2+ and C 2+ ions, pH, Total alkalinity, Total Dissolved Solids, Electrical Conductivity, hardness, etc of the lake water were studied using standard methods and WQI was calculated on the basis of Weighted Arithmetic Index.

IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology, 2014
The present study was carried out to evaluate the water quality status of Anchar lake Kashmir whole year from January 2013 to December 2013. Anchar lake, an urban shallow basin lake with a maximum depth of 2.6 meters was getting modified as a result of cultural eutrophication due to anthropogenic pressure, siltation and the effluent released from Sheri-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS). The physico-chemical characteristics assessed at seven selected sites for pH, conductivity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen (DO), Total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, free CO 2 , sulphate, phosphate, iron, ammonical nitrogen, sodium and potassium. Result shows positive correlation among all the physico-chemical parameters except DO. The study reveals that site 7 near SKIMS was highly nutrient rich with respect to other sites. I. Introduction Water is the Universal solvent, abundant and useful component, without it life is impossible. These water bodies are not only important for water, but also for their ecological importance as they provide habitat to aquatic flora and fauna including different species of birds. They may also comprise an important component for sustainable tourism and recreation. At present water resources are in a serious problem due to encroachment, unplanned urbanization and industrialization (Singh, et. al., 2002). Environmental status of lakes all over the World is in varying degrees of degradation. The Kashmir valley, in India is famous for its high mountain reaching to a height of 6000 meters, their elevations and depressions have created numerous, high altitude, fresh water lakes-The urban lakes of Kashmir including Anchar Lake are facing a serious threat of encroachment due to anthropogenic pressures resulting in their gradual eutrophication and degradation. The Anchar Lake is situated at an altitude of 1583 m above sea level and lies between 34°-20 ' to 34°-36 ' N and 74°-82 ' to 74°-85 ' E and is situated in semi urban conditions. The lake is located near Soura at a distance of 14kms northwest of Srinagar and is shallow with single basin. The lake is fed by Sindh Nallah and numerous small channels. Anchar Lake receives water also from Dal Lake through a Nallah named Amir Khan via Khushalsar Lake. Large areas surrounding the lake have been reclaimed for agricultural and habitational purposes. Paddy fields are present on its NorthWestern side. The lake is undergoing considerable shrinkage mainly due to human activities. The objectives of the present study were to assess water quality status, factors responsible for variation and effect of effluents of SKIMS on water quality of the lake. II. Materials and methods The lake has an area of 4.26 Km 2 with a maximum depth of 2.6 meter (Fig.1). The lake was divided into seven sampling stations namely Sind out flow (Site 1), Center of lake (Site 2), Sind inflow (Site 3), Sandgul (Site 4), Manzcul (Site 5), Sangam (Site 6) and SKIMS (Site 7). Water samples were collected on monthly basis from the lake at different selected sites in one liter polyethylene bottles properly cleaned and were analysed in laboratory for different physicochemical parameters as per APHA (1998). Parameters like depth, transparency, temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen were recorded at sampling stations. Parameters like calcium, magnesium, free carbon dioxide, sulphate, phosphate, iron, ammonical nitrogen, sodium, potassium and hardness were analysed in laboratory. Study period were divided into four phase i.e.

The present study deals with some limnological parameters of water of Kalyani lake in district Nadia, West Bengal to determine whether the water quality is suitable for fish culture or not. A total of nine physico-chemical parameters were measured for a period of one year (March'2011-February'2012) in three different seasons to assess the pollution load and present status of the lake following the standard method of APHA'1995. The parameters showed distinct temporal or seasonal variation. The low DO level and high level of nutrient values indicate the poor water quality of the lake for human consumption and fish culture also. The depletion of water quality is mainly due to the daily assemblage of huge amount of raw sewages from neighbouring sites, bathing of human and cattle, washing of cloths and utensils, dumping of solid wastes etc. This survey reflects the higher degree of pollution in Kalyani lake.
