Determination Physico- Chemical Characteristics of water quality in Upper Lake Bhopal (M.P).
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was aimed to analyse physico-chemical characteristic of water quality of Upper Lake Bhopal (M.P). The water samples were collected from five different locations during the Monsoon, winter and summer season in 2021-2022. The collected water samples were analyzed for the physicochemical parameters like temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, chloride, total hardness, calcium, dissolved oxygen, nitrate and orthophosphate. The analysis was carried out according to the standard procedures described by APHA (2005) and Workbook of Limnology (Adoni, et al., 1985). The experimental values of water samples were compared with standard values given by Bureau of Indian Standard. The results revealed that there was significant seasonal variation in physicochemical parameters of the lake and therefore the lake must be monitored regularly to prevent the changes that are occurred day by day.
