The aim of this study was to determine physicochemical parameters of Sagar lake. This study was undertaken in Sagar lake, India, from January 2004 to June 2004. Samples were collected from three sampling sites and transported to the laboratory for analysis of physicochemical parameter of interest was carried out following the standard methods for water and waste water. The CD at 0.05 of DO nitrate, BOD, COD, phosphate, CO2 alkalinity and chloride were 7.288, 28.22, 27.32, 56.17, 0.219, 2.55, 101.17, 278.26, respectively. From the parameters analyzed in this study, it is evident that Sagar district residents threatened the ecological integrity of Sagar lake by discharging organic waste into it without any form of treatment. Consequently, aquatic weeds now cover the major portion of the lake area leading to progressive eutrophication. The investigation shows that Sagar lake water is not safe for household purpose.

Abstract


The aim of this study was to determine physicochemical parameters of Sagar lake. This study was undertaken in Sagar lake, India, from January 2004 to June 2004. Samples were collected from three sampling sites and transported to the laboratory for analysis of physicochemical parameter of interest was carried out following the standard methods for water and waste water. The CD at 0.05 of DO nitrate, BOD, COD, phosphate, CO2 alkalinity and chloride were 7.288, 28.22, 27.32, 56.17, 0.219, 2.55, 101.17, 278.26, respectively. From the parameters analyzed in this study, it is evident that Sagar district residents threatened the ecological integrity of Sagar lake by discharging organic waste into it without any form of treatment. Consequently, aquatic weeds now cover the major portion of the lake area leading to progressive eutrophication. The investigation shows that Sagar lake water is not safe for household purpose.
