Abstract

The Srinagar city in the past used to have a network of water bodies in the form of lakes, wetlands, and streams but due to subversive urbanization and overpopulation, the expanse of water bodies has decreased as well as their condition has deteriorated. The present study deals with Khushalsar lake which has reduced in the area due to encroachment and water quality has also degraded. The analysis of different physico-chemical parameters showed the nutrient enrichment of the lake to be greater than Dal lake.

Keywords

Srinagar, Khushalsar, Encroachment, Physico-chemical parameters, Nutrient enrichment.
