Abstract An attempt has been made to ascertain the water quality of Shoolkere Lake with regard to physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Free CO2, chloride, alkalinity, hardness, phosphate, nitrate, sulphate and iron. Seasonal variations in the water quality parameters were investigated during the monitoring period from January to December 2010. The relationship between various physico-chemical parameters were analyzed statistically by Pearson correlation analysis. The results revealed that the condition of this Lake in different seasons showed fluctuations in physico-chemical parameters. Correlation coefficient showed positive and negative relationships between the physico-chemical parameters and also showed high significant positive relationship (p
