Impact of Urbanization on the Physicochemical Parameters of an Urban Water Body of Bellandur Lake in Bangalore City, Karnataka, India
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 7
Abstract
Lake Water is a source of drinking and domestic use for rural and urban population of India. The once bountiful Bellandur Lake has gradually transformed into a sewage tank. Bellandur Lake is one of the largest lakes in the Bangalore city. Bellandur Lake flows to Varthur Lake. The physico chemical parameters of Bellandur Lake and Varthur Lake were done in the month of March 2018 to assess the impact of urbanization. Bellandur Lake caught fire in May 2015 and again on February 16, 2018, this made authors curious to study its physicochemical parameters with an objective to assess the quality of water and intended to know the Impact of urbanization on the lake. The various physicochemical parameters of the lake were determined and discussed. The dissolved oxygen of Bellandur Lake water is 4mg/L. The COD of Bellandur Lake was found to be 176mg/L. This indicates that lakes are heavily polluted and they are becoming ecologically inactive.
