Shaikh, Nazneen J. | Sayed, Alim A. | Khan, E.M.
The physicochemical parameters of Katraj lake water namely Pᴴ, turbidity, total dissolved solids, alkalinity and hardness, phosphate content, chloride content, chemical Oxygen demand(COD) and sulphate content have been derived for the half yearly period February 2011- to July 2011. The purpose was to assess the quality of water from the sources in premonsoon and monsoon season. The value obtained for these parameters are Pᴴ:6.60–8.12, turbidity: 6-32NTU, total dissolved solids: 140-600mg/lit, alkalinity: 160–310 mg/lit and hardness 46.8–103.4ppm, phosphate 0.18-X10⁻⁵- 0.78x10₋₅ mg/lit, chloride content: 16.12–354.85 mg/lit, Chemical oxygen deand (COD) 1.72–6.0mg/lit and sulphate content 82.66–246.9 mg/lit respectively. It has been observed that there is marked difference in the values for the pre-monsoon month (February-May) and monsoon months (June-July).
