Water Quality Analysis of an Organically Polluted Lake by Investigating Different Physical and Chemical Parameters

Abstract

[i]Chandola is the largest lake of Ahmedabad city. This lake is surrounded by large number of small scale industries and slums. The waste from the industries and surrounding localities is directly discarded into the lake. To evaluate the water quality of this lake, study was carried out for the period of one year (March 2009 to February 2010). Monthly water samples were collected to analyze different physical and chemical parameters and obtained results were compared with standard values [4-5]. The pollution status was investigated on the basis of obtained results of physical and chemical parameters of water [1-3]. High level of variation was recorded during analysis which was as a result of human activity and discharge of waste water to the lake. Very soon Chandola Lake will become biologically inactive if the similar condition will be continued for longer period of time.[/i]
