Abstract
Large and growing population and rapid pace of development have led to the degradation of natural water system. Lakes are inland bodies of water that lack any direct exchange with an ocean. Lakes may contain fresh or saltwater (in arid regions), shallow or deep, permanent or temporary lakes of all types which share many ecological and biogeochemical processes. Lake ecosystems are influenced by their watersheds, i.e., the geological, chemical, and biological processes that occur on the land and streams. Lakes play multiple roles in an urban setting. It is essential to restore and maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of water bodies to achieve the required water quality, which ensure protection and propagation of fish, wildlife, plants, and also recreation in and on water. The overall goal of this study is to monitor the water quality and assess the trophic status of Bhalswa Lake in Delhi. The trophic status was assessed by using multivariate indices including Carlson Trophic Status Index (CTSI) Sakamoto, Academy and Dobson index, and USEPA-NES which primarily used total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, and Secchi depth parameters. This study showed that the Bhalswa Lake is in moderate eutrophic condition during the monsoon and post-monsoon period.
