Abstract

To determine the cause of elimination of aquatic macrophytes, in aman made lake located in abig Safari Park of Karachi
is situated at 24°-50'N latitude and 66°-55'E longitude, sixteen physico-chemical parameters of water were analyzed
throughout the water column upto a period of one year from June, 1994 to July, 1995. Analysis of the data shows that
most of the chemical constituents were present in high ranges, indicating pollution. The lake is in poor ecological
condition as its basin is full of debris which may influence the growth of plants. Special measures to clean the basin will
naturally be helpful in making it more picturesque as well as for the exploitation of fish and water fowl hunting.
