Description :
To understand Water quality of any ecosystems we most know about their different physico-Chemical parameters. Lonar is best aquatic ecosystems for the understanding of quality of lake water because it is Magic water. Such Crater Lake is situated inBuldana district of Maharashtra state India. Lonar Lake is the third largest natural saltwater lake in the world. Present work on analyze Physico chemical parameters and investigate the pollution level so as to determine status of eutrophication of Lonar Crater. Lonar Crater is a wet land which is important biodiversity sector. The lake brine supports typical microbial flora and fauna need to be investigated to access its value of wet-land to be recognized as Ramsar Site of India. For the investigation of water quality, we selected four different sites to analyzed Physical parameters like Temperature, Colour by means of Transparency, Total dissolved Solid and Electrical conductivity along these physical several Chemical parameters also studied that is Dissolved oxygen, Alkalinity on the basis of both Carbonate and Bicarbonates, Chloride, Salinity, Calcium and their Hardness, Magnesium Hardness, Phosphate, Sulphate, Silicates, Iron, Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates, BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) for a one year during January 2014 to December 2014. During the study period it was concluded overall salinity was Decreases and biological oxygen demand increases that may lead towards the Eutrophication. Keywords: Physico-Chemical, Parameter, Lonar Lake
