| Yashwant lake is located on Toranmal Plateau, one of the important plateaus in mid Satpura ranges. Extending between 21o 54´ North to 21o 61´ latitude and 74o 26´ to 74o 34´ East longitude. Surface water samples were collected from three selected stations of Yashwant lake namely YLA, YLB and YLC between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. The study site was visited at an interval of fifteen days and monthly mean was taken for calculation (December 2006 to November 2008). The physical parameters such as Atmospheric Temperature (AT), Water Temperature (WT), Transparency (Trans.), Water Cover (WC), Total Solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and chemical parameters such as PH, Acidity (Aci), Alkalinity (Alk), Carbon-dioxide, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Hardness (TH), Chlorides (Cl-), etc. were assessed in the laboratory. Significant positive or negative correlations were established among physico-chemical parameters. |
