Abstract:
In order to distribute and utilize the water resources as effectively as possible, it is crucial to evaluate quality of the water. Knowing the water demand for diverse uses, such as irrigation, industry, public health, and domestic uses, both now and in the future, becomes essential. An evaluation of the water quality of the Thippayya lake has been attempted in the current study. Analysis was done on the physico-chemical characteristics of water samples taken from the Thippayya Lake in four different months, including colour, odour, temperature, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, chloride, fluoride, phosphate, iron, sulphate, and nitrate, as well as their correlation to water quality. The physico-chemical characteristics of the water sample showed a substantial variation over the course of four months. BOD and COD readings fluctuate more than other parameters do. Alkalinity, turbidity, calcium, and magnesium hardness, DO, BOD, and COD levels in the current study are over the acceptable limit. Controlling the lake's physicochemical parameters may lead to balanced phytoplankton growth and a reduction in eutrophication.
