Abstract: Water is an important precious natural resources on the earth. It is used in irrigation, industries and domestic usage. In this study of water quality assessment of Gowrivakkam lake was carried out. Total of 8 samples was collected from different parts of the Gowrivakkam lake and analysis for various physico-chemical parameter like as pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, Chloride, TDS, Fluoride, Ammonia, Phosphate and Nitrite. The analyzed parameter were compared with BIS standards. Quality of lake water in the study area was calculated. The WQI of this lake was found to be good. Therefore, the water can be used only after treatment.
Keywords: Water Quality Index, pH, Alkalinity, Hardness.
Scope of the Article: Water Supply and Drainage
