Abstract
Water is essential for life and has numerous benefits, including
providing aquatic and human life minerals. Lakes are the most significant
freshwater resource, providing critical water for various uses such as drinking
water, domestic use, and pisciculture infrastructure. However, eutrophication
is a recognised water quality issue due to their limited self-purification
ability and rapid contamination. The study aims to examine the variety of fish
species and assess Gorewada Lake's water quality, focusing on its cleanliness
and scenic beauty. In the study conducted in Gorewada Lake Nagpur,
India, ten distinct fish species belonging to three different orders were found
(Cypriniformes, Perciformes, Clupeiformes). Various physical and chemical
parameters (pH, Dissolved oxygen, CO2 and Chlordes) revealed that
anthropogenic activities are the primary cause of the lake's aquatic variety,
with neutral pH and safe drinking water.
