Study on the Impact of Excess Use of Fertilizers, Nutrients Accumulating in the Sewage Water Leading to the Contamination and Eutrophication in Mansagar Lake (Jalmahal), Jaipur

Dr. Chetna Pradhan Jain

Abstract: Water the Elixir of Life and a precious Natural Resource found in various places depending on the Climatic and Geographic Conditions. Various activities like Domestic, Industrial with more and more Urbanized tasks leading to the pollution and deteriorating water quality. Inundation of Sewage water with various nutrients load increase the plant growth in the water body leading to the process of Eutrophication and altered Physico Chemical Parameters. Jalmahal Lake (ManSagar) surrounded by hills and specially in Rainy season surface weathering of mountains, rocks make water quality contaminated. Various Physico Chemical Parameters like pH, EC, TDS, Color or Hue, Odour, Nitrates, Hardness, D. O, and Heavy Metals like Mercury, Cadmium, Chromium, Iron, Zinc lead to Chronic Poisoning in Aquatic Life and its Environment. Algal Blooms are the main reason behind the Eutrophication of Water Bodies. Analysis of Water Quality and regular monitoring of Effluent Water Discharge should be done seasonally every wear.
