Assessment of Alkaline water of Lonar Lake
Keywords:
Wetland, Alkaline, Pollution, Biodiversity, ConservationAbstract
Lake is define as, any relatively large of slowly moving or standing water body that occupies an inland basin of appriciable size. There are four types of lakes like temporary, permanent, freshwater, saltwater, salinewater and crater lakes found on Earth. Lakes are of great value to human beings helps to regulate the flow of a water. Lakes is known for its diverse natural resources and lakes are one of the major sources beauty in India. There are many lakes in almost every state of India. Lonar lake is a lake of lagoon was created due to a meteorite and having basalt rock. Its water is alkaline. The formation of the lake is believed to have been 52000 ± 6000 years ago (Govt. of Maharashtra, India). Studies has shown that physically large lakes exhibit several similarities to seas and oceans in their thermal structure and circulation dynamics. From the chemical point of view, lakes are important accumulation. The present study was conducted on the physico-chemical parameters of Lonar lake water during 2018. The samples from three locations from the lake were collected and analyzed in relation with their physico-chemical characteristics in the laboratory. The results show fluctuations in the parameters according to anthropogenic activities, pollution problems and climatic conditions.
