ABSTRACT

This study determined and characterized the quality of water of Shahpura Lake of Bhopal. The research involved the levels of physico-chemical properties of Lake Water samples. About 40% of the pH values were below the WHO recommended minimum allowable value of 6.5 whiles most of the physical parameters fell within the recommended values of WHO. In general, the water quality of the studied lakes can be said to be fairly good with respect to the monitored elements and Thus, on the basis of the physico-chemical studies, it can be said that the study of Shahpura Lake in Bhopal district is nutrient rich and suitable for aquatic organisms. Slight alkaline medium and high amount of nutrients provide favorable conditions for aquaculture.
