Water is liquid gold and very significant sustaining material for existence. The primary life originates in the water and first organisms were also aquatic where water was principle external as well as internal milieus for organisms. The water quality usually refers to the constituent of aquatic ecosystem present at the optimal level for appropriate development of flora and fauna. Water quality can be evaluated by various physical and chemical parameters. The present study was undertaken to study the water quality of Karukonda Ramavaram Lake, Kothagudem area (T.S.), for a period of one year from January to December 2018. During the study period water samples were collected from four sampling sites for the analysis of physical characteristics such as Color, Odor Temperature, Total Suspended Solids and Total Dissolved Solids and chemical characteristics such as Hydrogen Concentration, Dissolved Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Chloride Content, Total Alkalinity, Phosphate content, Ammonia content and Total hardness. Analysis of water samples by using globally accepted ‘Water Quality Index’ (WQI), which is one of the most successful ways to describe the quality of water. The present study expresses the variations of physical and chemical characteristics with seasonal diversity.
