Abstract
The study focuses on the escalating issue of heavy metal accumulation in Kachapur Lake, located near the Kamareddy district, and its adverse impact on the local fish populations. It aims to assess the levels of heavy metals in the lake's water, sediment, and fish tissues, and to explore the relationship between these concentrations and the observed fish mortality. The research involves collecting water and sediment samples from various lake sites, and fish specimens for detailed analysis. Key heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) are measured using advanced analytical techniques. Concurrently, instances of fish mortality are documented to examine potential links with heavy metal accumulation. The study is significant in understanding and addressing the environmental challenge posed by heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems.
