Studies on physico-chemical parameters of Mul Lake, Maharashtra, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
India has 2.4 % of worlds land mass 4 % as water resources and 16 % of worlds population therefore no scope to underutilize water resources. Since the quality of the aquatic life depends on water quality, a thorough assessment of the water quality is an integral part of lakes evaluation. Study site located near Mul town in the Chandrapur district of eastern part of Maharashtra and is situated between 200,07,N and 790 ,67, E. Water samples were collected in polythene bottles (two litters capacity) once in month from the selected sampling sites of two lakes to analyze the water quality parameters for the period of 12 months i.e. from January 2011 to December 2011. Annual variations in physico-chemical parameters, such as B.O.D., C.O.D., nitrate, phosphate, Chloride, alkalinity, D.O.,CO2 etc. indicates that, the Mul lake is polluted and may be classified as mesotrophic or mesosaprobic.
