Seasonal Variations in Physicochemical Parameters and Primary Productivity of Shelar lake Bhiwandi, Thane, Maharashtra
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Water has unique physico-chemical properties. It serves both as a factor and an environmental medium or substratum in which organisms live. Water in the ponds, lakes and river basins is economically more important as it is medium that serves the members of a community who use it. Shelar Lake is a fresh water body with its prime earlier use for drinking and irrigation. Now a day, this water body is undertaken for fish cultivation. Water quality plays an important role in productivity of lake. In present investigation, physical and chemical parameters of the water body such as temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, free CO2, alkalinity, nitrates, nitrites, sulphate and phosphate along with primary productivity were analyzed seasonally. The productivity of the lake was found to be influenced by some of the physical and chemical parameters of the lake water.
