The present study was conducted to demonstrate the physico-chemical parameters of recreational Lake
Tilyar in the summer and monsoon months. On the basis of lake morphology, lake was divided in to three
sampling stations. Water samples were collected fortnightly from each sampling station and analyzed for
estimation of pH, total dissolved solids, turbidity, conductivity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium,
chlorides, free carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, BOD, ortho-phosphate, ammonia, sulphate and
alkalinity. Air temperature, water temperature, and weather conditions were also recorded. The observed
values of various physico-chemical parameters of water samples were compared and analyzed.
