EVALUATION OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF KOTEPALLY LAKE WATER IN VIKARABAD DISTRICT OF TELANGANA STATE

Water resources are equally important for natural ecosystem and human development. It is essential for agriculture, industry and human existence. Present work was designed to study the physicochemical parameters of kotepally lake, Vikarabad. The water samples from the surface were collected from the three sampling stations every months in polythene cans for a period of two years from June 2016 to May 2018. Water analysis carried out to know the physicochemical parameters like water temperature, pH, Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Chlorides, Dissolved oxygen, Total Hardness, Sulphates, Calcium, Phosphates, Magnesium, Nitrates, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Suspended Solids, Biological Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand. The values of physico chemical parameters were with in permissible limits of WHO and BIS. The results indicate that the Kotepallylake is Non- polluted andcan be used for domestic purpose, irrigation and fish culture.
