ABSTRACT

Life is sustained by water. In the present study, analysis of physico-

chemical parameters of Pardeswadi lake, waluj M.I.D.C. Aurangabad

lake were carried out to study the quality of water and suitability for

domestic during study period from Feb.2014 to Jan.2015. The

parameters W.T, Coloure, pH, Turbidity, TS, TDS, TSS Alkalnity,

Sulphate, phosphate, and ammonia were studied. The present

investigation revealed that the seasonal study of quality of water of this

lake showed fluctuations in physic-chemical parameters.

KEYWORDS: Pardeswadi lake, phosphate, suphate, ammonia, etc.

INTRODUCTION

Water is one of the most important compounds to the ecosystem. Better quality of water

described by its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. But some correlation was

possible among these parameters and the significant one would be useful to indicate quality

of water. The restored lakes have to be kept free from pollution to maintain their

ecosystem.[1]

The term water quality comprises the water column and the physical channel

required to maintain and sustain aquatic life.[2-3]

The Pardeswadi lake is getting polluted by

the sewage entering from the surrounding settlements, religious practices and human

activities like washing, bathing, etc. The physico-chemical parameters of water and the

dependence of all life process of these factors make it desirable to take as an environment. In

India still now several researchers have done study on physico-chemical and biological

characteristic of standing and running water resources.[4-6]

Water pollution can be analyzed

by the changes in physical, chemical and biological properties like colour, organic / inorganic

contents and microbial load. Water quality is affected by a wide range of natural and human

influences.[7]

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Study Area

The Pardeswadi lake is 0.5km from Ramrai (Pardeswadi)village toWest, 0.5 km from

Jogeswari to North, 1.0 km from Kamlapur to East, and 1.5 km from WALUJ(Aurangbad-

Pune highway) to South and about 22 km from Aurangabad city. The present study was done

for the lake which is situated in Waluj MIDC,Aurangabad area and its geographical

coordinates are 19°54' 0" North, and 79°29' 0" East.[8]

Sampling

Water samples for the estimation of physico-chemical parameters were collected monthly

from four different sites A, B, C, and D during different seasons (winter, summer and

monsoon) over a period of one year from February 2014 to January 2015. Sample collection

was done during morning hours between 09.00 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and brought to laboratory

for further analysis. Water samples were collected in plastic jerry canes. Parameters like

temperature, pH were estimated on the spot, while samples for other parameters were

analyzed in the laboratory as per standard methods prescribed by.[7, 8]

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Water temperature

Temperature is an important factor that influences primary production in reservoir. This may

be attributed to the sampling time which was between 8:00 and 10:00 am, when the water is

warmer than air. In the present investigation maximum 33.75°C was recorded in summer and

minimum 27°C in winter (Fig.1).Temperature is the important parameter which regulates the

overall environment of the aquatic ecosystem. Similar temperature fluctuations were also

observed by.[9]

Colour

Different matter present or dissolved in water imparts colour to natural water. Colour may

result due to different metallic ions, planktons or any suspended matter The colour value

ranged from145Hazen at station B in winter to 21.5Hazen B in monsoon (Fig.2).


1336


pH

In the present study the highest pH 9.45 was recorded at sampling station B in the monsoon

(Fig.3). The minimum pH 8.463 was found at the station D summer. The values of pH are

shown in table1. The pH is in alkaline ranged which can be due to presence of alkali metals.

Turbidity

In the present study the highest turbidity 242.25NTU was recorded at sampling station „B‟ in

the summer (Fig.4). The minimum turbidity18.75NTU was found at the station „C ‟winter.

The values of turbidity are shown in table.1 Turbidity is the measure of water clarity, or the

amount of suspended materials suspended in water that can decrease the passage of light

through the water. Suspended materials include soil particles, planktonik algae, microbes and

other organisms. Turbidity can also affect the colour of the water. High turbidity increases

water temperatures because suspended particles absorb more heat. High turbidity increases

water temperatures.

Potassium

In the present study the highest potassium 1.4225 mg/l was recorded at sampling site C

(Fig.4). The lowest value 0.0287 mg/l was found at the station D in winter in the year 2014-

15.

TS

In the present study the TS value ranged from 174.75 mg/l to 441.25 mg/l. The lowest value

of TS was found in summer season at station B, while highest value of TS was recorded at

station D in winter Total hardness of water is not a pollution parameter but of water quality

mainly terms of Ca2+ and Mg2+.

TDS

In natural water dissolved solids are composed mainly of carbonate, bicarbonate, chlorides,

sulphates, phosphates, nitrates, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, manganese etc.[10]

In the

present study the TDS value ranged from 126.25 mg/l to 174.00 mg/l .The lowest value of

TDS was found in summer season at station C, while highest value of TDS was recorded at

station A in monsoon. Similar observation was made by Salve and Hiware, (2006), Raut et.

al.,2011.


1337


TSS

Total suspend solids are the cause of suspend particles into water body influences turbidity

and transparency. in the present investigation, total suspended solids were ranged from 15.25

mg/l to 214.25 mg/l. The lowest value of TSS was found at station B in summer where as

highest value at station A in the same season.

Alkalinity

Alkalinity of water is a major of its capacity to neutralize acids.[9]

In the present study the

total alkalinity ranged from 48.5. to 97.75 mg/l, being minimum in winter and maximum in

summer season(Fig.9). Accumulation of large quantity of bicarbonate might be due to

organic decomposition and decrease in water level. It is composed primarily of carbonate

(co32-

) and bicarbonate(hco3-

). Alkalinity acts as a stabilizer for pH. Alkalinity, pH and

hardness effect the toxicity of many substances in the water. Alkalinity in boiler water

essentially results from the presence of hydroxyl and carbonate ions. Hydroxyl alkalinity

(causticity) in boiler water is necessary to protect the boiler against corrosion. Too high a

causticity causes other operating problems, such as foaming. Excessively high causticity

levels can results in a type of caustic attack of the boiler called “embrittlement”.[18]

Sulphate

During this study Sulphate ranged from 1.15 mg/l to 18.6 mg/l. It was maximum in summer

season at station D and minimum in monsoon season at station A. Sulphate is a naturally

occurring ion found all most in all types of water and its concentration occurs in wide ranges

in natures. Similar result was observed by.[12-15]

Phosphate

Phosphate is the most important nutrient for the production of phytoplankton in freshwater

which is the primary food for many of the commercial fishes. Phosphates occur in small

amounts in all aquatic environments and are required to maintain the growth and metabolism

of aquatic plants including algae.[16]

In the present study the phosphate concentration ranged

between 9.2mg/l to 39.4 mg/l, being higher in monsoon at station B low in winter season at

station A. The higher phosphate concentration in monsoon might be owing to on flux through

rain water.


1338


Ammonia

The most important source of ammonia in water bodies is the ammonification of organic

matter. In higher concentrations ammonia becomes harmful to fishes and other biota. In the

present studyammonia ranged from 0.1715 mg/l to 1.84 mg/l. It was maximum in winter

season at station D and minimum in summer season at station A. The high ammonia content

during winter might be due to the decomposition of organic matter.[17]

CONCLUSION

The present investigation of physico-chemical parameters of pardeswadi lake shows complete

information by taking important parameters like water temperature, color , PH, turbidity,

potassium, TS, TDS, TSS, phosphate, sulphate , alkalinity and ammonia. The winter, summer

and monsoon season shows seasonal fluctuation in various physico-chemical parameters. The

physico-chemical parameters are important to determine the quality of water body.
