Abstract
Nirmal and Chakreshwar lake are two important water bodies in Vasai-Virar Taluka, are the primary source of water for
the nearby villages. The objective of the study was to analysis physicochemical parameters and simultaneously monitor
the heavy metal content. During the study the physicochemical parameters like pH, temperature, Total hardness, TS, TDS
and TSS were evaluated in pre and post monsoon samples at three different sites from each water body. t test and two way
ANOVA test were performed to assess the variation in the pre and post analysis for any significant difference. It was
observed that heavy metal content was found more in pond A (Nirmal), comparative to pond B (Chakreshwar) lake.
