Water Quality Analysis of Rampally Lake near Ecil, Hyderabad

Abstract

The present study focuses on determining physical-chemical parameters of water samples from various sample points such as temperature, pH, DO, BOD, COD, and sulphate. Increased pollution levels indicate an increase in pollution pollution due to domestic wastewater, industrial effluents and anthropogenic activities and waste dumping in Erode District. The current study included water samples from the entire city for well-organized sampling and interpretation in four regions. The results showed that the average pH was analysed at 7.86, the electrical conductivity was 920 μS/cm-1, with total solids 1580 mg/l and total solids 1004 mg/l with total suspension of 690 mg/l, a total hardening of 340 mg/l and chloride 380 mg/l, an averages for dissolved oxygen at 5.59 mg/l, COD 38 mg/l, phosphate at 6.0 mg/l, a sulphate at 60 mg/l and an r-l of dissolved oxygen. This study shows how waste from markets and household waste is polluted by effluents of the small industry in the Cauvery River. So, management of water quality is urgently necessary to comply with WHO-defined water quality standards.
