Description :
Satara tukum is a very small village in Pombhurna tehsil of Chandrapur district located in Maharashtra state. A freshwater perennial lake is present in this village. All village people depend on this lake water for cloth washing, irrigation, farming, and for all domestic activities. Due to continuous anthropogenic activities the lake water is getting polluted day by day.
In this context in present studies 17 different physico-chemical characteristics of this lake water were analyzed for 2 years span during 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. The analyzed physical and chemical parameters include atmospheric temperature, water temperature, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids, free CO2, total alkalinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, Calcium, chlorides, phosphate, nitrate, sulphate, Phosphate, COD and BOD were recorded. In all 17 different physico-chemical parameters were analyzed and recorded during the study on this freshwater ecosystem of perennial nature. The physico-chemical parameters show the prevailing water quality conditions of the lake water in a particular area which is presented in this research paper.
