Description :
The present paper includes an assessment of the quality of water reservoir situated near Chota Taj Bagh, Sakkardara Square, Nagpur. Dist. Nagpur, Maharashtra. Since ‘good’ water quality will produce healthier humans than one with ‘poor’ water quality, an analysis on the hydro-chemical parameters of Sakkardara Lake water was made. The lake is situated near Raghuji Nagar in old city area. And beneficial to recreation in present days and fulfill scarcity of water in future.The use of water is mostly for recreation, idol immersion and fishing purpose. The findings of the analysis will prove to be quite informative, to the daily consumers of the water.The water samples were analyzed form June 2012 to May 2013.Water samples from this site were analyzed for pH, Conductivity, TDS, Chloride, alkalinity, Hardness, DO and Sulphate.The results reveal that the range of variation in different parameters was pH 8.0 to 8.2, TDS 789 to 992mg/l, hardness 210 to 299 mg/l, DO 5.7 to 7.2 mg/l, alkalinity 123 to 148 ppm, chloride 136 to 193 mg/l, sulphate 82 to 130 mg/l. All the hydro-chemical parameters of Sakkardara Lake water are within the highest desirable limit or maximum permissible limit set by WHO.
