Abstract

Present study was undertaken to examine seasonal variation in the physicochemical parameters of Rankala Lake during the year February 2023 to January 2024. Water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, total hardness, chloride, nitrate, and phosphate were analysed. The findings indicated that Rankala Lake’s water is suitable for irrigation, domestic use, and aquaculture.
