From November 2014 to October 2015, a study was conducted on Gundla cheruvu in Armoor village, Armoor mandal, Nizamabad District, Telangana state. Samples were collected in the morning each month to analyze their physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. The examined physico-chemical parameters included Water Temperature, Turbidity, pH, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and nutrients such as Chloride, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sulphates, and Silicates. Results indicated that the concentration of physico-chemical parameters was higher in the summer than in other seasons. The primary producer community, known as phytoplankton diversity, consisted of various algae forms, which serve as significant biological indicators of water quality. The study suggested that Gundla cheruvu was at risk of eutrophication, emphasizing a potential combination of water quality indices and pollution contamination.
