Abstract: During the past few years grave concern is being voiced by people from different walks of life over the deteriorating conditions of Hussain Sagar Lake. As a result of heavy anthropogenic pressures, the eco-systems of lake are not only strengthening in its surface becoming poor in quality, posing health hazards to the people living in around close proximity to the lake. Over the years the entire eco-system of Hussain Sagar Lake has changed. The water quality has deteriorated considerably during the last three decades. Over the years the lake has become pollution due to immersion of Ganesh Idols. Many undesirable changes in the structure of biological communities have resulted and some important species have either declined or completely disappeared. Keywords: Groundwater quality, PH , Turbidity,TDS, COD, BOD, DO, before immersing of idols, after immersing of idols. INTRODUCTION Hyderabad is the capital city of Telangana and the fifth largest city in India with a population of 4.07 million in 2010 is located in the Central Part of the Deccan Plateau. Hyderabad was founded by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah in 1591 on the banks of Musi. Today the city covers an area of approximately 650 KM. The city has been classified as an A-1 city in terms of development priorities, due to its size, population and impact... Hussain Sagar is a lake in Hyderabad, built by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah. It was a lake of 24 square kilometers built on a tributary of the River Musi to meet the drinking water and irrigation needs of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Hussain sagar lake is being polluted year by year due to Ganesh chaturthi festival and immersion of Ganesh idols at Hussain Sagar Lake. Annual immersion of Lord Ganesh idols after the 10 day Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations on Ananta Chaturdashi. Locally this event is called Ganesh Nimajjanam(immersion). That is immersion of Ganesh idols during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi in to the Hussainsagar tank. While the Municipal authorities and police estimated that 13,000 idols are immersed in Hussainsagar, the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi put the figure at 50,000.

The immersion of Ganesh idols only makes a bad situation worse. STUDY AREA Hyderabad city located at 17o 26' 58'' of the Northern Longitude and 78o 28' 34'' of the Eastern Longitude. Lake type : Artificial Max Depth : 32 ft Surface elevation : 1759ft Island : Buddha Statue Surroundings : Hyderabad and secundrabad. SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Samples of water were collect at various location of Hussain sagar Lake i.e Buddha statue, Lumbhini park, Necklace road. NTR Garden (Hyderabad), Boats club Ranigunj (Secundrabad), samples collected on two different dates ( 2-9-2016 and 6-9-2016 (Before Immersion of idols), 8-9-2016 and 12-9-2016(after immersion of Idols) respectably. Physical, chemical water quality parameters such as PH, Turbidity, Total dissolved solids, DO.BOD, COD, The assessment of water quality describe in “slandered methods for the examination of water and waste water as per the standards of American Public health association [APHA]. The analytical results posted in Table1 & 2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS pH pH is the measure of the acidity of a solution of water. The pH scale commonly ranges from 0 to 14. The scale is not linear but rather it is logarithmic. For example, a solution with a pH of 6 is ten times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7. Pure water is said to be neutral, with a pH of 7. Water with a pH below 7.0 is considered acidic while water with pH greater than 7.0 is considered basic or alkaline. In the present study the minimum value of PH was found in Hussain Sagar lake Hyderabad with a range from 7.4 to 7 9 before immersion 8.1 to 9 after immersion respectively.

Cloudiness is caused by material suspended in water. Clay, silt, organic matter, plankton and other microscopic organisms cause turbidity in natural water. This has been recognized as a valuable limiting factor in the biological productivity of the water bodies. In the present study the turbidity of samples was found with a range from 17 to 48 before immersion 33 to 72 after immersion respectively. NTR Garden TurbidityNecklace Road Boats club Ranigunj Lumbini Park Buddha Statue Total dissolved solid (TDS) Total dissolved solid (TDS) In natural water, dissolved solids are composed mainly of carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, sulphates, phosphates, nitrates, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron and manganese etc. They originate from dissolution or weathering of the rocks and soil, including dissolution of lime, gypsum and other slowly dissolved soil minerals. In the present study the minimum value of total dissolved solids was found in Hussain Sager lake Hyderabad with a range from 652 to 820 before Immersion 711to1126 after immersion respectively. TDS NTR Garden Necklace Road Boats club Ranigunj Lumbini Park Buddha Statue DISSOLVED OXYGEN (D.O.) Dissolved oxygen analysis measure the amount of gaseous oxygen (O2) dissolved in an aqueous solution. It is essential for respiration of fish and other aquatic organisms.A small amount of oxygen, up to about ten molecule of oxygen per million of water, is normally dissolved in water. In present study the dissolved oxygen found in Hussain Sager lake Hyderabad within the range of 8.5 to 5.2 before immersion 3 to 7.2 after Immersion respectively.

Biochemical oxygen demand The biochemical oxygen demand, abbreviated as BOD, is a test for measuring the amount of biodegradable organic material present in a sample of water. The results are expressed in term of mg/L of BOD which microorganisms, principally bacteria will consume while degrading these materials. As the measurement of BOD takes too long time (20 days at 20 0C), the determination of BOD after 5 days incubation is preferred (BOD), the highest BOD value 60 mg/L was recorded in Hussain Sager lake Hyderabad with a range from 45 to 13 before immersion 29 to 60 after immersion respectively.

Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

  • Hyderabad's Musi River
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Hyderabad’s Musi River: Why Do Technocratic Solutions Fail in Safeguarding Urban Waterbodies? VIKAS SEHRA Vikas Sehra ([email protected]) is with the Centre for the Study of Regional Development, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Vol. 55, Issue No. 10, 07 Mar, 2020 In complete contrast to its past glory, the Musi river which traverses through Hyderabad city, is degraded by indiscriminate disposal of waste and massive encroachments. The Telangana government had announced plans in 2017 to revitalise the river through a large- scale riverfront development project. By revisiting similar initiatives taken up earlier to resuscitate the Musi, the article argues that these techno-managerial solutions completely disregard notions of commons, only to normalise their exploitation. On 28 September 1908, water levels in Musi river rose to 16 feet and completely flooded Hyderabad, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. Encroached and concretised, the river has shrunk into a drain ever since. Today, it crawls through the city carrying a deadly mix of drain water interspersed with patches of cattle grass, solid wastes, and poisonous fumes. To revitalise the river, the Telangana government announced the Musi Riverfront Development Project in 2017. The degrading condition of such ecological commons (such as waterbodies, air, wetlands, etc) in cities brings focus back to Hardin’s "The Tragedy of the Commons" (1968). According to Hardin, in the absence of well-defined ownership, individuals maximise their self- interests, which eventually results in the overexploitation of commons. But Hardin’s conceptualisation was eventually criticised, and many scholars over time pointed out its ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 limitations.

  • Hyderabad City: History & Tourism
    Hyderabad City: History & Tourism Hyderabad is the capital city of the state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh of South India. The city was founded on the River Musi by Muham- mad Quli Qutab Shah in 1591. The city is located on the Deccan Plateau and it is the fifth largest city of India. This cosmopolitan city is richly endowed with a variety of cultures. The city presents an attractive amal- gam of old world charm together with new world of hi-technology. Hyderabad city has a history of nearly four hundred years. All its began with the establishment of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. Quli Qutub Golconda Fort Shah seized the reins of power from the Bahamani Kingdom in 1512 and established the fortress city of Golconda. The history of Golconda goes back to the Kakatiya Dynasty in 11th century when they built a mud fortress on a hill called Golconda. Inadequacy of water, and fre- quent epidemics of plague and cholera persuaded Mohammed, the fifth Quli Qutub Shahi ruler to ven- ture outward to establish the new city with the Charminar at its cen- ter and with four great roads fan- ning out in the four cardinal direc- tions. The capital of the city was Bhagyanagar, which named after a royal beloved Bhagyamati. As she Charminar became the wife of Quli Qutub Shah, the sultan bestowed the title of Hy- 1 der Mahal on Bhagmati and thus was born Hyderabad. The Qutub Shahi rulers were great builders and patrons of learn- ing. Mohamed Quli Qutub Shah built the mosque, whose construc- tion began in 1614 and Aurangazeb completed it in 1687.
