Abstract
The present study has been undertaken to assess the physiochemical aspects of the high impacted Meteor Crater Lonar Lake. The physiochemical properties of the water of the lake -Temperature, pH, Color, Alkalinity, Transparency, Total solids, Total hardness, Electrical Conductivity, Dissolved oxygen, Nitrates, Phosphates, Sulphates, Chlorides has been assessed. Water of the Crater Lake is highly alkaline with pH 9-10.5 having ambient temperature 25-35 degree Celsius. A water of the lake is good conductor of electricity, it indicate water of the lake contains good quantity of dissolved ions. The major ions of the water is sulphur, chlorides and nitrites. The lake water contains high concentration of Sulphur and it gives foul smell to the water. The water of the lake is unfit for eukaryotic life.
