Abstract:
Abstract Water is one of the most important natural resources on the planet. Quantity and quality of water matters a lot for the biosphere and these are dependent on natural and anthropogenic factors. This study was carried out to assess the preliminary water quality of Baraila lake situated in the heart of Salim Ali Jubba Sahni Bird Sanctuary in Baraila of Vaishali District in the State Bihar, India. It is the largest wetland of Vaishali district present in the Gangetic plain. 11 water parameters for assessment of water quality were identified. The water quality index was calculated by the weighted arithmetic method. Physico-Chemical water quality parameters; pH, TDS, DO, electrical conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, nitrate and chloride were included in WQI. The WQI Values (>90) put the water unsuitable for drinking purposes but can be used in irrigation, fishing, industries etc. In order to improve water quality and quantity few recommendations are also suggested.
