Abstract

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of water pollution by assessing physico-chemical and microbiological quality of Kotur Lake from October 2011 to March 2012. Kotur Lake showed that some of the parameters were within the limits of WHO and some were exceeded the limits. In the month of October the physico-chemical parameter values were observed very less and were high in March month. The microbiological parameters were exceeded the limits of WHO. The high Total Plate Count values were observed in March followed by January and February. The lower Total Plate Count and Most Probable Number values were observed in October, November and December. The high Total Fungal Count values were attributed in November, December and January and low Total Fungal Count values were observed in February and March.
