Abstract
Gundolav Lake situated in Kishangarh, Ajmer, is an important freshwater
ecosystem possessing ecological, cultural, and economic significance. The
present study was undertaken to evaluate the current status of water qualityand
anthropogenic impacts affecting the lake. Systematic sampling was conducted,
and selected physico-chemical parameters including temperature, pH, total
dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorides,transparency and
alkalinity were analyzed using standard methods.The findings reveal variations
in water quality parameters indicating increasing pollution levels due to
sewage discharge, agricultural runoff, and nearby human activities. Elevated
nutrient concentrations, particularly nitrates and phosphates, suggest the
onset of eutrophic conditions leading to habitat degradation. The study
provides baseline data for future ecological monitoring and highlights the
urgent need for sustainable management and conservation strategies to protect
the lake ecosystem.
