But owing to the unplanned development and urbanization, the ponds of this city are struggling for their existence. Inspite of the global alarm for restoration of the water bodies, the ponds in the city are facing neglectance. For the study period ten ponds were selected. The physico-chemical parameters of the water sampled in June 2008 from ten ponds such as PH ranged from 6.55 to 7.93; Turbidity, 6.06 NTU to 8.59 NTU; Conductivity, 12.32 ms/cm to 16.84 ms/cm; D.O., 3.72 mg/l? to 6.81 mg/l; B.O.D., 3.77 mg/l to 6.40 mg/l. Residual chlorine was detected only in pond A (1.09 mg/l), pond C (1.13 mg/l), pond E (1.04 mg/l) and in pond F (1.03 mg/l). Free CO 2 was found? between 8.7 mg/l to 19.68 mg/l. TS, TDS, and Chlorides were found much beyond the permissible levels. Alkalinity ranges between 202.55 mg/l to 310.05 mg/l; Acidity between 10.75 mg/l to 15.48 mg/l; Total Hardness between 244.49 mg/l to 254.78 mg/l. Prominent sources of pollution are the domestic sewage, kitchen flow and street runoff etc. In addition, solid waste and garbage tied in polythene bags are recorded along the banks and also floating on the water surface.
