Assessment of Parameters of Water Quality Analysis of Hanumantal and Robertson Lake at Jabalpur (M.P.)

Study of water quality tells about present status of useable water for domestic as well as industrial use. Indiscriminate and wasteful water consumption and improper waste disposal practices have led to deterioration in the water quality. Water pollution is increasing rapidly due to human activity and disposal of sewage. The specific contaminants leading to pollution in water include a wide spectrum of chemicals, pathogens and physical changes. Several water quality parameters should normally be sampled and tested to ascertain water quality, and the data recorded. These include pH, dissolved oxygen(DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and discharge or flow measurements. Hanumantal lake and Robertson lake are well known lakes of Jabalpur city and it is located in populated area. Data provided by present investigation is useful in designing water quality management issues.
