Assessment of Physico-chemical Water Quality Parameters of Surajkund Pondin Gorakhpur City
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Water bodies in urban areas have been facing the adverse effects of anthropogenic pollution for so many years. The water quality in lakes and ponds being used for religious bathing and cultural gathering is of paramount importance from the view point of public health and safety. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the physico-chemical water quality parameters of Surajkund pond, which is an ancient water body located in Gorakhpur city. Water quality parameters like pH, total hardness, chloride, alkalinity, total solids, DO, BOD and COD are observed from the samples taken from the pond. It is found that the pond is rendered in eutrophic state by the organic pollution and needs to be restored and managed in the form of a fresh water body in near future. It is suggested that an awareness programmes should be taken up in the adjoin area to educate people about the adverse effect of water pollution. Also, periodic monitoring of water quality in the pond to ensure no further degradation has been recommended.
