Description :
The physico-chemical parameters are important for the determination of suitability of water for irrigation, fishing and drinking purposes. The present study was carried out for the period of three months from January, 2022 to March, 2022 at Mul lake in Chandrapur district. Their values were as depth-5-7 meters, temperature-26 to 350C, pH-7-8.5, dissolved oxygen-480-645 mg/l, free carbon dioxide-514-691mg/l, total alkalinity-260-309mg/l, electrical conductivity- 889-905 ms, total dissolved solids-170-204 ppm, Calcium hardness-32-36 mg/l and Magnesium hardness-16-20 mg/l. Total 10 parameters were studied. From this study, it may conclude that, the water parameters are within the permissible limit. If the lake is maintained and beautification will done then this will enhance the Mul lakes productivity and aesthetic value. Also, the Mul lake is suitable for the aquaculture practices.
