Various physico- chemical parameters Were analyzed in both lakes. Chlorides, Total hardness, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand and total solids were recorded in high concentration and very low concentration of dissolved oxygen was recorded in both lakes. On the basis of physico-chemical parameters the Saroonagar lake is highly polluted and severe water quality deterioration whereas Ramanthapur Pedda Cheruvu is mildly polluted. Keywords - Physico-Chemical Parameters, Water Quality, Eutrophication I. INTRODUCTION Water is the most valuable blessing to humankind. Life on earth is not conceivable without water. Water the most imperative abiotic segment is one of a kind in numerous regards such as domestic utilities, industrial practices, irrigation and power generation. Water covers 70% of our earth in which 97% is marine water, 3% is freshwater and approximately 1% of which is readily available for mankind in various forms. Lakes, rivers, waterways, streams and wetlands go under classification of surface water. These water bodies get their water supply from precipitation, overflow from snow liquefying and as base spill out of ground water frameworks. Surface water assets have assumed a critical job in the advancement of human development. Lakes have environmental significance as sources of surface and ground water recharge, in maintaining energy exchange, nutrient cycling, watersheds and also support diversified aquatic life. Urbanization, industrialization, population growth, unsustainable water management, exploitation of catchment and command areas have led to impairment of water quality. High organic load, surface runoffs and industrial effluents leads to deterioration of water quality and eutrophication of lakes. The present investigation is a comparison of Saroornagar lake and Ramanthapur Pedda Cheruvu which are the two prominent lakes of Hyderabad. Both the lakes are under the stress. Hence it is important to access physico-chemical parameters of these lakes to counter the water quality impairment.
