Abstract

Physico-chemical characteristic study has been carried out on Himayath Sagar Lake water of Hyderabad City, Telangana State in order to evaluate its suitability for drinking purpose. Lake water from 13 different locations were collected and analyzed for parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Sulphate (SO42-), Nitrate (NO32-), Fluoride (F-) and chloride (Cl−) levels. The analytical results indicated that lake waters are slightly alkaline in nature and found that the physico-chemical parameters of lake waters are within the acceptable limits for drinking purposes (IS 10500: 2012) except TDS.
