Abstract

Ashtamudi Wetland is famous for its hydrological functions, its biodiversity, and its support for fish with nearly 100 species sustaining a lively
fishing industry. This paper reveals the physico-chemical properties of water samples discharged to the Ashtamudi Lake from china clay industries
in Kollam district of Kerala state in India. Water samples collected from the lake were also analyzed. The results indicated that most general
physico-chemical properties of the lake water fell within those recommended for domestic water. However the dissolved oxygen present in water is
a highly fluctuating parameter which will affect its biodiversity
