12 METHODOLOGY Samples were collected from the lake. Samples were collected from the lake. To find out depthwise variation of quality, some samples were collected from depth varying 4-12 feet. To find out depthwise variation of quality, some samples were collected from depth varying 4-12 feet. Samples were analysed following the standard procedures. Samples were analysed following the standard procedures. The chemical analysis results were processed using the computer programme HYCH. The chemical analysis results were processed using the computer programme HYCH.

13 RESULT TDS ranges between 773 and 837mg/L(500mg/L). TDS ranges between 773 and 837mg/L(500mg/L). Ca &Mg 98 and 75mg/L, against 75 and 30 mg/L. Ca &Mg 98 and 75mg/L, against 75 and 30 mg/L. Cl 179 mg/L (250mg/L). Cl 179 mg/L (250mg/L). Na 129 mg/L (200mg/L), NO 3 28mg/L (45mg/L) and SO 4 27 mg/L (200mg/L), within the permissible limit as per ISI standards. Na 129 mg/L (200mg/L), NO 3 28mg/L (45mg/L) and SO 4 27 mg/L (200mg/L), within the permissible limit as per ISI standards.

14 RESULT Handa’s Classification-both permanent and temporary hardness. Handa’s Classification-both permanent and temporary hardness. Cu 0.192 ppm (0.05ppm), Ni 0.376 ppm (0.02ppm) and Mn 0.144ppm (0.1ppm) are above ISI prescribed standard limits. Cu 0.192 ppm (0.05ppm), Ni 0.376 ppm (0.02ppm) and Mn 0.144ppm (0.1ppm) are above ISI prescribed standard limits.

19 CONCLUSION Water pollution is not only an aesthetic problem. Water pollution is not only an aesthetic problem. Ca, Mg, Cu, Ni & Mn concentration are more. Ca, Mg, Cu, Ni & Mn concentration are more. Cu-seepage of effluent paper industry, agricultural activities. Municipal waste and sewage. Cu-seepage of effluent paper industry, agricultural activities. Municipal waste and sewage. Ni & Mn might be entering through the waste waters exhaused from automobile workshops, service station, etc. Ni & Mn might be entering through the waste waters exhaused from automobile workshops, service station, etc. Lake water seems to be suitable for agriculture. Lake water seems to be suitable for agriculture. Encroachment along the sides should be checked. Encroachment along the sides should be checked.
