The Ambhir lake is also called as pragathi nagar cheruvu is mainly receiving untreated domestic sewage effluents from nearby residential areas and high raised apartments . The Chinnarayuni lake is also receiving domestic sewage from nearby residential areas. The water quality parameters like pH, Electrical conductivity, Dissolved oxygen, Total alkalinity, Total hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorides, Phosphates, Sulphates, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids(TSS), Total solids, BOD, COD were analysed for both the lakes for the period of one year from January 2010 to December 2010. The analysis results indicated that some of the water quality parameters are high and exceeding the, permissible limits of Indian Standards (IS).
