ABSTRACT
Physico-chemical characteristic study has been carried out on Shah Hatim Lake water of Hyderabad City, Telangana State in order to evaluate its suitability for drinking purpose. Lake water from 12 different locations were collected and analyzed for parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Sulphate (SO42-), Ammonical Nitrogen (NH3), Nitrate (NO32-) Fluoride (F-) and chloride (Cl−) levels. The analytical results indicated that lake waters are slightly acidic to alkaline in nature and found that the physic-chemical parameters of lake waters are higher than the prescribed standard limits for drinking purposes (IS 10500: 2012).
Keywords: Physico chemical parameters, Shah Hatim Lake, Hyderabad City, Telangana state, IS 10500: 2012.
