Evaluation of surface water quality using water quality indices (WQIs) in Lake Sukhna, Chandigarh, India

Abstract To assess the surface water quality of Sukhna Lake, 13 physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total dissolved salts, chloride, total Aalkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, nitrate and phosphate were investigated o...
