Sheetu Dhar, Deepika Slathia
Abstract :
Present work focused on the seasonal variation in the water quality parameters of lake Mansar (J&K) for a period of one year (2011-2012). The water samples collected were analysed for various physico-chemical parameters such as air temperature (A.T), water temperature (W.T), electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, salinity, pH, free carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚), carbonate, bicarbonate, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chloride (Cl-), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), total hardness (TH), sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). The results have indicated that the lake is receiving heavy pollution load from surrounding areas due to discharge of domestic sewage, agricultural runoff and other anthropogenic activities. Measures for minimization of organic load in the water body have been suggested.
