Abstract This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the water quality of Yellamma Cheruvu, a vital water body located in Peddapalli District, Telangana State. The evaluation focuses on a detailed analysis of various metal parameters and their concentrations in the lake's water. Water samples were collected from multiple locations within Yellamma Cheruvu, covering different seasons to capture the temporal variations in water quality. This approach allows for a better understanding of how seasonal changes and human activities influence the lake's health over time.

The results reveal fluctuations in key water quality parameters, which indicate potential contamination risks during certain periods, often linked to anthropogenic activities. These activities, such as agricultural runoff, industrial discharges, and domestic wastewater, appear to contribute to the water quality degradation in the lake. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated as a summary measure to evaluate the overall water quality and assess its suitability for various purposes, including drinking, agricultural use, and recreation.
The study also identifies potential sources of pollution that affect the water body. By pinpointing these sources, the research highlights the need for targeted mitigation strategies to address water quality issues and improve the ecological health of Yellamma Cheruvu. The findings underscore the importance of implementing effective water management practices and pollution control measures. This assessment is essential for local water management authorities and stakeholders in the region, providing them with the necessary information to make informed decisions about conservation efforts. The study offers valuable insights that can guide strategies for the sustainable use and protection of this crucial water resource, ensuring it remains a safe and reliable asset for the local community and surrounding ecosystems.
