Kala Talao (lake) in Kalyan, Maharashtra, India, commonly referred as ‘Shenale’ is presently managed & maintained by KDMC and is utilized by the public for various recreational activities and cultural events including rituals etc. Several NGO’s are monitoring and spreading general awareness regarding conservation & management of existing water bodies by holding rallies, events, programs etc. and with this regard the "JalPooja" was very recently organized by the Hon. Jagatguru Shankaracharya. Hydrological parameters & its variations are useful in finding the sources of pollution & its effective management. Further these parameters also govern the distribution of animals/ organisms and hence essential in understanding the correlation with environment. The current investigations are carried out to assess and examine the varied parameters, status & quality of water and also recent comprehensive published data on the Physico-Chemical Parameters of Kala Talao is not available. The samples of Kala Talao water are regularly collected at intervals of 3-4 months from 2 sites since last 2-3 academic years. Certain parameters are processed immediately at the site and/or within 4-6 hrs, while the rest of parameters were assessed at research center/ laboratories. The results indicate that the sample waters are fairly contaminated and require immediate restoration with effective treatment & management
