Abstract

Kondeshwar Lake is situated near historical Kondeshwar Temple of Lord Shiva near Badnera city of Amravati District. The purpose of this study was to assess the physico-chemical properties of sediments of Lake. The sediment samples were collected from the Kondeshwar Lake. Physico-chemical analyses of the collected samples was done. The parameters monitored include: pH, Electrical Conductivity, percentage of Organic Matter, Bicarbonate Alkalinity, Available Nitrogen, Available Phosphorus and Available Potassium.

Keywords:Dregs, catchment, lake sediments, available phosphorous/p>
