Research of Physical-Chemical and Ecological Characteristics of Ukkadam Lake Water Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract

Degradation of lake water quality has been seen for many years, particularly in lakes close to urban areas with human activity. The goal of the current inquiry was to identify the various physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the surface water quality of several lakes in Coimbatore, India. The significance of the sampling points was considered when choosing them. Water samples were mostly taken from open wells in and around the Coimbatore district from the following sampling locations: Ukkadam Lake. The physical-chemical characteristics, such as total dissolved solids, pH, electrical conductivity, biochemical oxygen requirement, faeces coliforms, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity, Alkalinity, Sulphate, Nitrate, Phosphate, Chlorides. The findings indicated that lake water samples taken at several locations in and around Coimbatore city were above WHO criteria.
