Abstract

In the present work an attempt was made to assess the Physico Chemical Parameters of a water body in Telangana state for a period of one year during January 2019 to December 2019. Water samples were collected from four different sampling stations of Medchal Lake labeled as S1, S2, S3, and S4. Samples were collected at monthly interval in order to assess physico chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, sodium, potassium, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand, following the standard methods of APHA (2005)[1]. The results revealed that there was significant variation in some physicochemical parameters and most of the parameters were found to be in normal range of permissible limit and thus indicated better quality of lake water. It has been found that the water was suitable for drinking purpose
