Abstract:
Water quality is considered to be a key contributor to both health and state of disease for humans. The quality of water is largely disturbed and influenced by both natural as well as by anthropogenic activities. The surface water quality is mainly impacted by human activities through effluent discharges, the use of agricultural chemicals and increased exploitation of water resources. The aquatic ecosystems are greatly affected by these factors, resulting in decrease of quality of water, depletion of biodiversity, habitat and in overall decreasing the quality of life for local inhabitants. It is therefore important to prevent and control water pollution and to implement regular monitoring programs. The analysis of various physico-chemical was done for understanding water quality of Lake.
