Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Monitoring water quality is imperative to recognize the nature and extent of pollution and the water quality management plan is important for restoration of ecosystem. This provides directives to prioritize pollution control efforts and evaluate the effectiveness of the planned efforts. Monitoring water quality should follow a standardized and a defined protocol. In India, the water quality assessment authority under the Environment Protection Act 1986 provides directives in the form of protocol for the monitoring of water quality. The present investigation of assessment of impeding hydrochemical aggravates as indicators to characterize restoration strategy for Lake Sambhaji at Dist: Solapur (MS), India, is an attempt to draw out major contemplations to design restoration strategies for Lake Sambhaji. The results portray hydrochemical stressors at Lake Sambhaji. The hydrochemicals analyzed for the conformity with the standards defined by Central Pollution Control Board, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, and World Health Organization, and it was found that the lake water of lake Sambhaji is polluted. Further removal of shoreline vegetation has accelerated and forced erosion of sediment and nutrients into a lake. Hydrologic alteration identified includes flow regulation with modification due to siltation in the regular and the natural path of inflow streams due to anthropological activities and rain has been identified. The research outcomes portray an immediate need to design restoration measures</p>
