Abstract: 
The present study was undertaken to study the physico-chemical parameters of fresh water bodies in Nizamabad district and after survey Ramadugu lake was selected. Lakes are the important water resources and used for several purposes. The water quality of all fresh water environments is assessed by the physico-chemical and biological parameters. The physico-chemical characteristics were studied and analyzed for a period of 1 year from March 2019 to February 2020.water samples were collected from four sampling stations of lake and were analyzed in the laboratory. Physico-chemical parameters such as Colour, Odour, Temperature, PH, TDS, Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Calcium, Magnesium, Total hardness, Total Solids, Chlorides, Nitrates, Nitrites, Sulphates, Silicates, Phosphates, BOD, COD, DO of lake were estimated throughout the year. Analysis was carried out by using the standard methods.
