ABSTRACT

The Shahpura lake, which is also known as the third lake of Bhopal, is a man mad. The study area (Shahpura lake) is situated in the center of Bhopal city, the state capital of Madhya Pradesh,at latitude 230 12’ 00’’E .and longitude 77 0 25’ 30’’ N.. In the present study, physicochemical parameters viz, water temperature, ph. dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity of water of Shahpura lake (Bhopal) were analyzed. The present paper deals with study of water quality monitoring and fish fauna is reservoir for its conservation.

Keywords: Physicochemical parameters, fish fauna, conservation, monitor.
