Abstract

In the September and October months of the year 2022, an attempt has been made to determine the water quality of Hiremagaluru pond in the city of Chikmagaluru, Karnataka state. We studied various physico-chemical parameters like water temperature, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, chloride, dissolved oxygen and free CO2. The analysis indicates that the water of this pond is not polluted so much, but it needs to be protected from the perils of future contamination by giving certain degree of treatment like disinfection. The careful investigation revealed that studied pond is mesotrophic. Hence, preventive measures are necessary to avoid further degradation of the pond water quality. The estimated water quality parameters were compared with the WHO and BIS standards.
