Assessing The Present Water Quality of DSC Lake

Abstract

Water is undoubtedly the most natural resource after air. Whether or not the water is usable depends on its quality. Lake with good water quality is important for drinking water and sustaining ecosystem, including Fisheries and Irrigation. The health of every organism that lives in aquatic habitats is impacted by the quality of the water, and water quality influences the water's suitability for irrigation. I have collected samples from various station of DSC Lake. The primary data regarding this water's quality was obtained by means of a number of physical tests, including DO, temperature, pH, turbidity, TDS, TSS, and BOD. By studying the test results, I have shown the water's quality level and how suitable this water is for use. The DO, pH, temperature, and TDS levels in this lake's water are all within acceptable limits and meet water quality standards. Additionally, the lake's ecosystem is being directly impacted by the excess turbidity and TSS, which have decreased light penetration into the water. Due to low penetration of light, this has a direct impact on BOD and has caused an increase in BOD levels. Provided this lake's condition, it has been established that the water is contaminated and polluted. The More testing and routine monitoring are required to assess the lake's level of pollution. In addition to being an indicator of degradation in the environment, this lake's poor state represents a hazard to the ecosystem.
