Economic as well as recreational activities of the city Bhopal are dependent on the water availability in the upper Bhopal Lake. This receives water as surface runoff only during monsoon period of each and every year. The upper lake has a catchment area of 375.55km2. The Land use Pattern of about 80% of the catchment is an agricultural area. Whereas 5% is of the forest and rest comes in urban area. Since the inset of monsoon in the catchment area is by 15th June in every year. The agricultural area starts contributing by the end of august. Whereas the lake start receiving surface runoff right from the beginning of monsoon season.

ABSTRACT Lake Water samples were collected from fifteen (15) locations during pre and post monsoon season. The physico-chemical parameters such as Total Alkalinity, Carbonate Alkalinity, Bi-Carbonate Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Ca Hardness, Mg Hardness, Ca Content, Mg Content, Chloride, Phosphate, Total Phosphoras, Organic Phosphoras, Nitrate, Biological Oxigen Demand and Chemical Oxigen Demand were analyzed to know the present status of the lakewater quality. After statistical analysis it was cleared that the positive co-relationship occurred between the attributes and attributes are independent to each other and these varied according to locations. Key words: upper lake, physico-chemical parameters, India. 2010 MSC NO: 62J10, 62H86, 62P12. INTRODUCTION: Upper lake is an east westerly elongated typical tropical lake, was built by king Bhoj of Dhar (1,000-1,055) by constructing a massive earthen structures across Kolans River. The lake has catchment area of 361 km2 with a water submergence length of 12 km and maximum width of 1.75 km at Full Tank Level. Available records reveal that the lake area was approximately 2 km2 in the beginning. In 1963 the water spread area of the lake increased form 13.8 km2 to maximum of 36.1 km2 by constructing 11 radial gates at Bhadbhada waste weir.

  • Habitat Characterization of Littoral Zone of Upper Lake, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
    GSJ: Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2019 ISSN 2320-9186 194 Habitat Characterization of Littoral zone of Upper Lake, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Sweta Priyam Department of Environmental Science, Barkatullah University, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Abstract Water management is a critical issue for the survival of all organisms residing on earth. In this study, Bhopal, also famous as city of lakes, has been taken as it has number of lakes fulfilling daily needs of the city. Upper lake and lower lake, together forms Bhoj wetland and is a Ramser site and shahpura lake are three important lakes of the city serving multipurpose need of the city of drinking, agriculture etc. Biotic and abiotic interaction in aquatic and terrestrial area determines its abundance and health of the area. If any one factors gets disturbed then the whole cycle of system gets disturbed and risk the rate of survival. Therefore, it is important for each factor to be in control for sustainable development. Likewise, aquatic organisms serves important role in deciding the health of the lakes. Presence and absence of certain organisms can be indictor of pollution or pollution free environment. In the littoral zone of the lakes, habitat of the samples was surveyed by observing the flora of the area and categorizing in submerged, floating and emerged. Water parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, total hardness and electrical conductivity were determined and macro benthic invertebrates were identified in the area. To determine the relation, correlation coefficient was determined between the two factors, macro benthic invertebrates and 11 parameters of water.

A lake is a reflection of its catchment, if economic benefits through tourism. Both the lake and its the catchment area is healthy, then the ecological services catchment area have been inextricably linked in terms of their provided are better. The fast-paced development activities in the ecosystem services and the complex nature of their catchment area of lakes and the over-consumption of available interactions. Lakes have witnessed large scale degradation of resources are resulting in the degradation of lake’s ecological their environment in general and water quality in particular services. The Upper Lake in Bhopal, a million plus population [28]. Major threats to the lakes are; discharge of sewage water, city situated in the central part of India has been selected for the the growth of thick mats of aquatic weeds and increased study.
