This study was aimed to estimate current status of physico-chemical characteristic of Sarkhej Roza lake, District Ahmedabad, India. Monthly changes in physicochemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand were analyzed for a period of one year from September 2013 to August 2014. The results indicated that physico-chemical parameters of the water were within the permissible limits and can be used for domestic and irrigation. Correlation coefficient indicates showed positive and negative relationship.
