Fox Sagar Lake, Physico-Chemical Parameters and Water Quality

Abstract

Fox Sagar lake pump house was constructed in a typical Nizams architecture. It is the main source of drinking and irrigation. Due to rapid increase of urbanization and population, the lake is converted into a waste dumping site, particularly industries and sewage in view of this the present work has been undertaken for the monitoring of water quality. The water samples from the surface were collected from the three sampling stations every month in polythene cans for a period of 2 years from June 2013 to May 2015. For the monitoring of water quality in the lake, the following water quality parameters were analyzed by standard methods (APHA, 1995). The main objective of physico-chemical analysis of water is to determine the nutrient status of the medium. Since the water contains dissolved and suspended constituents in varying proportions it has different physical and chemical properties along with biological variation. The quality of water may be affected in various ways by pollution.
