Estimation of Physico-chemical Parameters in Katral and Bharamasagara Lake of Chitradurga District

Abstract

As water is an essential survival factor for living things and development. This study evaluates the water parameters of Katral Lake and Baramasagara Lake in Chitradurga district of Karnataka.  The current study aims to understand the parameters viz., Temperature (water and air), pH, turbidity, conductivity, colour, total solid, total suspended solids, TDS, alkalinity, hardness, calcium, sulphate, nitrate phosphate, DO, BOD, COD, magnesium are all desirable and indicate that the water is safe to drink. By monitoring water quality parameters and evaluating the overall state of the ecosystem, phytoplankton serves as an essential indicator of environmental health and reflects changes in H2O quality. The analysis method used in accordance with the water quality to examine the public consumption, recreation, and other uses in order to determine the various physico-chemical parameters and the water quality index.  According to water parameters we calculate the different seasons of standard deviation & Karl Pearson Correlation coefficient. This study examines the effect of domestic activities and environmental factors influence on the lake's water quality.
