Abstract

Masala   lake  is  situated 6 Km.  away  from Chandrapur. The  present study has  been   made  to  investigate  the physico-chemical  parameters of  the  lake.   The  present study was  carried out  from   the  month of Aug.  2006  to Jan 2007.   Samples  were collected on  monthly basis  from three sampling   stations  S,,S,   and  S,.  The   physico­ chemical parameters  like  temp., pH,  conductivity, DO,  COD,   BOD,  free  CO,,   chloride, total  hardness, Ca hardness, Mg  hardness,  phosphate,  sulphate, nitrate, nitrites,  carbonates &  bicarbonates were  analyzed during the  course of study. The  study revealed that as  compared to  site  S,  and  S,, site  S,  showed higher concentration  of  sulphate,  phosphate and  bicarbonates during month  of Nov  and  Dec  2006  and  were recorded low  during the  month  of Aug  and  Sept  2006  may  be  due  to dilution, site  S,  shows  more  TDS  value  because of domestic activities. In  all  there is  definite impact on  the  water quality due  to domestic and  agricultural activities.
