Limnological Study of Jadhav Sagar Lake, Shivpuri Town, Madhya Pradesh, India
Due to rapid increase in population, industrialization and agricultural practices most of the natural water resources get polluted. Disposal of untreated or partially treated industrial effluents and sewage into surface waters is one of the major environmental problems. The study was carried out on Jadhav Sagar lake in Shivpuri town for a period of April 2006 to March 2007. Jadhav Sagar lake is one of the oldest water bodies which is situated in central part of the Shivpuri town. In the past, it represented the source of drinking water and fish culture. In recent times it has changed considerably due to human interference in the form of encroachment and development of residential areas, and dumping of waste and sewage. The results showed that the Jadhav Sagar lake is polluted and the water cannot be used for human needs and fish culture. The water quality of lake is deteriorating rapidly due to intense human activities and influx of pollutants from surrounding.
