Water bodies in urban Bangalore cover about 5% of the land. These lakes form a unique, irreplaceable system. The present study was carried out from January 2014 to December 2014 in Gangondanahalli Lake and the water samples were collected seasonally and analysed for physico chemical factors following standard methods (APHA 2005). It was observed that the Lake is under tremendous anthropogenic pressures pumping heavy loads of domestic sewage and dumping of solid material leading to rapid tropic evolution in the form of eutrophication.
