Physico-chemical profile of historical Ramala Water Reservoir of Chandrapur Maharashtra
Summary
Researchers examined the physico-chemical profile of the Ramala Water Reservoir in Chandrapur, India, collecting water samples monthly from November 2020 to March 2021. They found that most parameters remained within permissible limits, though elevated phosphate and nitrate levels, along with significant eutrophication, were observed, concluding the water was suitable for human consumption and fisheries.
Ramala water reservoir is located in the heart of Chandrapur city constructed by Gond king around 600 years back with the purpose to provide water to the citizens for various uses. However, at present, the condition of this reservoir is much pathetic which leads not only to the death of the fishes but the posing threat to the citizens' health. Therefore, the present work was carried out to find out the physico-chemical perspective of this lake. This study is experimental in nature. The Ramala water reservoir was the subject of study. The water samples were collected once in the middle of the month from November 2020 to March 2021. Almost all parameters except phosphate and nitrate were shown to contain under the permissible limit and indicate water may be consumed. The boom in aquatic vegetation is observed due to a high degree of eutrophication. It has been concluded through the study that the water under study is useful for human consumption and also for fisheries. Keywords: Eutrophication; physico-chemical; pollution; water; WQI.
