Sudhir K Srivastava

Abstract :

The Nainital Lake receives wastes from the surrounding areas, run off from catchments and residues of construction activities through small and large drains. The Nainital Lake is a large water body with two basins Mallital and Tallital. The physico–chemical profile of Nainital lake has been studied. A total of 49 water samples were collected from Nainital lake and its surroundings. 15 samples were collected out of above 49 samples for total non–purgeable organic carbon(NPOC) and total carbon and 13 samples (acidified) were collected for trace elemental analysis. The Non–Purgeable Organic Carbon (NPOC) are found to be less than 3 mg/l except in few samples near Mallital. Total Organic carbon up to 70.3 mg/l has been detected.
