The Surha Lake is an important freshwater body in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. The aim of the present study is to investigate the concentration of water quality parameters like pH, BOD, DO, COD, EC etc. in the lake water. The results indicate that the water quality of the lake is deteriorating and is not suitable for drinking purpose. Therefore, it has been suggested to check the input of nutrient in the lake and water must be treated before used for drinking.
