  • Seasonal Variation in Physical Characteristics of Tamdil Lake, Mizoram, Northeast India
    Lalzahawmi Chenkual et.al. / International Journal of Modern Sciences and Engineering Technology (IJMSET) ISSN 2349-3755; Available at https://www.ijmset.com Volume 3, Issue 6, 2016, pp.24-29 Seasonal Variation in Physical Characteristics of Tamdil Lake, Mizoram, Northeast India. 3 *Lalzahawmi Chenkual 1 Laltanpuia 2 BP Mishra Department of Environmental Science Department of Environmental Science Department of Environmental Science Mizoram University Mizoram University Mizoram University Aizawl, Mizoram Aizawl, Mizoram Aizawl, Mizoram [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The present study deals with the physical properties of Tamdil lake, Mizoram, India, for a period of two years, i.e. from March, 2014 to February, 2016. The physical characteristics namely temperature, turbidity and total dissolved solids were analyzed monthly and the results are computed on seasonal basis i.e. pre-monsoon, monsoon, post- monsoon and winter seasons. From the study it was observed that, seasonally, temperature ranged from 120C – 290C; turbidity from 5.6 NTU – 24.3 NTU and total dissolved solids ranged from 77.3mg/L- 125.3mg/L. Statistically, there was a positive relationship between water temperature and TDS and turbidity, and a significant and positive relationship between TDS and turbidity. Keywords: Physical characteristics, Temperature, Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids, Water quality standards. 1. INTRODUCTION: A lake is a body of relatively still water of considerable size, localized in a basin that is surrounded by land apart from a river, stream, or other form of moving water that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes are used for domestic and irrigation purposes, and provide ecosystem for aquatic life especially fish, thereby functioning as a source of essential protein, and for significant elements of the world’s biological diversity.
