Water is a must for all living things. Reservoir and lake water is used for a variety of purposes, including drinking water, agricultural, commercial, recreational, and aquaculture. However, due to rising population pressures, which has resulted in rapid urbanization, industrialization, and modern agricultural practices, water pollution has become a major issue in recent years. The water quality index is a single number that reflects overall water quality at a specific place and time. To compute, water quality index (WQI) we used Temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (B.O.D), Chemical Oxygen Demand (C.O.D), Alkalinity, Electrical Conductivity, Turbidity, and Chemical Oxygen Demand (C.O.D), Nitrite-Nitrogen, Nitrate-Nitrogen and Hardness were the physico-chemical parameters investigated in this study. The water quality index is to transform complicated water quality data into information that the general public can use. The Water Quality Index was calculated using the Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WQI). The measured WQI was then used to assess the water quality in Rabale water body. The water quality index (WQI) of the lake was 49.813, 53.483, and 53.045 during the pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon periods, respectively. When comparing seasonal variations, WQI values show that water status is fairly good during the pre-monsoon but is low during the monsoon and postmonsoon seasons, thus water from Rabale water body may be used for a variety of industrial purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
