Limnological Studies on a lake-A Case Study

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Water pollution has been one of the major topics in the environmental issue of urban India. This study was conducted to find out the pollution situation of Madiwala Lake. Source of surface water and ground water have become increasingly contaminated due to increased industrial and agricultural activities. The quality of surface water is largely affected by natural processes. For example, weathering and soil erosion. This paper observes the negative and harmful effects of lake water pollution on the environment and the surrounding community as well as the quality of water after its treatment. The most common form of water pollution has been waste disposal via human activities. The study conducts tests on water samples from the Madiwala Lake. Recorded values of pH, color, turbidity, hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride (Cl), total acidity, total alkalinity, the temperature measured during the time of sampling varied from 26 – 28 °C and presence of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium for before and after the water treatment have thus compared to analyze the extent of water hygiene delivered.
