Abstract The present study was undertaken with the aim to understand the chemical properties of aquatic fulvic acid in a clear water Lake Mansar. Along with that, the physical and chemical environment of the lake was also analysed. Fulvic acid was isolated from the water of Lake Mansar following IHSS recommended methodology and was subjected to characterisation, viz. elemental analysis, H-NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The yield of fulvic acid from water of Lake Mansar was 0.22 mg/L that was far less than coloured aquatic systems. Elemental analysis revealed per cent carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen content to be 53.6%, 5.04%, 6.3% and 35.06%, respectively. H-NMR and FTIR spectra revealed the presence of various functional groups like aliphatic, hydroxyl, amide, quinones, ketones, carbonyl, cellulose, etc. Based on the present studies, it was concluded that the origin of humic material in Lake Mansar is mostly from algae and non-vascular plants that have undergone less degree of humification.
