LONG TERM ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY CHANGES IN LAKE MANSAR, A RAMSAR SITE (J&K, INDIA)
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Freshwater resources are indispensable for the survival of all major life forms on earth but their quality has deteriorated due to various human activities. This study reports long term changes in the water quality of a Ramsar site, Lake Mansar located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. For this, four sampling sites were marked and various water quality parameters were analysed following standard methodology on a seasonal basis for one year and compared with three separate sets of published and unpublished data spanning a period of about 25 years. Results indicated that increased anthropogenic activities have certainly altered the water quality of Lake Mansar with deterioration in some water quality parameters. However, a comparison with standard values recommended for drinking water by international organisations suggested that all the parameters were within the recommended limits.
