Assessment of Water Quality of Manasbal Lake using CCME-WQI Index

Abstract

Water purity generally refers to a general description about the character of water. Lakes having good trait properties make it high economic resources for an ecosystem and nature as well. A comparative study of different Physio-chemical assessment of different water quality parameters of Manasbal Lake was studied. The study was carried out during the month of June 2019- to May 2020 and 8 randomly sampling was chosen. The measurements made by the CCME-WQI index of the is above 80, representing good quality. A total of 12 water quality parameters were selected namely PH, Turbidity, TDs, Conductivity, Chloride, Alkalinity, Hardness, Calcium Hardness, Nitrate, phosphate, sulphate and Free CO2 were analysed. All the parameters were analysed through standard analytical procedure. The present scenario of Manasbal Lake from ecological point of view has reached a critical stage, if not properly conserved it will likely deteriorate and in future will turn into highly eutrophic state.
