Dr. Shalini Hemkar
Abstract:
The assessesment of the physico-chemical parameters of four lakes of Jaipur were investigated. It is necessary from this point of view to find suitability of water is safe for drinking and irrigation purposes. The comparison of the various parameters like electrical conductivity, hardness, temperature, pH, alkanity, iron content, chloride content, fluoride content and dissolved oxygen was studied. Most of the parameters were found to be maximum at Jalmahal Lake as compared to Chandlai, Amber and Galta Lake. The Jalmahal lake water was highly polluted and was found to be no potable and not fit for propagation of wildlife and fish culture. Chandlai and Amber lake water was also polluted but and Galta Lake was less polluted as the parameters analyzed were within the somewhat good permissible limits. By conclusions it has been found that Jalmahal Lake water is acceptable to slightly polluted.
