The use of chemical fertilizers in the catchment area of the Kaliashote reservoir has increased many fold thus, residual impact of the chemical fertilizer as well as agriculture waste inflow in the lake considerably increased water pollution problem. The residues of the chemical fertilizer reaching to the Kaliashote reservoir with storm water enriched the lake water with the loading of nutrients. The extra loading of the nutrient causes eutrophication that supports luxuriant growth of macrophytes. Results of analyzed of several physicochemical parameters such as pH, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen(DO) , Biological Oxygen demand(BOD) , Chemical Oxygen demand(COD), Nitrates ,Phosphates and Potassium shows high concentration of nutrients in the areas where chemical fertilizer are being used (at the station near Bhadbhada) in comparison Reference sample i.e. Behind MACT, Kaliasote Reservoir.
