Abstract :

The quality of water is an important criterion for evaluating its suitability for drinking, irrigation and fish culture.The influence of monthly and seasonal changes on the physic-chemical parameters of water body. Therefore a study has been conducted on the Wardhannapet fresh water lake in Warangal. This investigation has been carried out for a period of one year from June 2018 to May 2019.The water quality parameters considered in the present study water temperature ranged from 23.00⁰ C to 31.00⁰C,Total Dissolved Solids from 35.50 to 47.60 (mg/l),Transparency from 40.00 to 55.70(Cm);pH from 6.45 to 7.50; Dissolved Oxygen from 7.5 to 8.6 (mg/l);Biological Oxygen Demand from 3.0 to 6.3(mg/l); free CO2 from 1.60 to 2.10(mg/l); Total Alkalinity from 35.10 to 55.60(mg/l);Chloride from 35.20 to 49.55(mg/l);Phosphate(PO4) from 1.45 to 2.00(mg/l);Sulphate(SO4) from 25.20 to 45.10(mg/l);Nitrate from 0.22 to 0.55(mg/l);Ammonia from 0.65 to 1.46(ppm) and Electrical Conductivity from 110.0 to 130.10(µmchos/cm).The study revealed that variation in parameters from month to month in a year has been noted at different sampling stations. However, the overall physic-chemical parameters of the lake water remained within the tolerable range throught the study period. The observations on the present study suggest that the fish culture in this fresh water lake can be taken up and the quality of the water is suitable for it.
