Abstract

Several man-made lakes can be seen around Bangalore, which were built for recreational, industrial, agricultural, and home water supply needs. The lakes in Bangalore are disappearing day by day as a result of rapid population increase, pollution, and urbanization. Due to their significant socioeconomic value, lakes must be investigated, restored, and safeguarded. The goal of the current study is to investigate and evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of three sample lakes (Ulsoor, Kasavanahalli, and Iblur). The water quality parameters like alkalinity and acidity, calcium and magnesium hardness, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, and chloride were studied in the lab using several analytical techniques. The outcomes demonstrated the significance of lake management and restoration. It entails cleaning the lake, pre-treating it, churning and homogenizing the lake water, applying a disinfectant and spark floc, and then fabricating and installing florafts. It was promising that, with the correct filtration, lake water could be used for drinking, irrigation, and residential purposes. The examination of lakes in Bangalore and the thorough restoration procedures of a sample lake in Bangalore are presented in this paper.
