title: An innovative technique for lake management with reference to aeration unit installed at lower lake, Bhopal, India.
abstract: Water is key element in human life. All forms of life upon the earth depend upon water for their mere existence. Life & water may be aptly said to be two facets of the same coin. Most of the water bodies are getting polluted due to domestic waste, sewage, industrial waste and agricultural effluent. The present study is designed to ascertain the effectiveness of artificial aeration cum Ozonizer unit installed at Lower Lake, Bhopal for assessment of water quality. Various physico- chemical parameters like pH, Dissolved oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen demand, Chemical oxygen demand, nitrate, phosphate and bacteriological status were studied to assess the extent of deterioration in water quality of Lower lake and at the same time to assess the performance of the dual aeration system in improvement of water quality.
