Abstract: Inle Lake is the second largest inland lake in Myanmar. The floating garden is a unique for tomato cultivation by the people who are living around and on the Inle Lake. Poor agricultural management by some farmers has resulted in discharge of nutrients and chemicals contaminating the water in the Lake. This study investigates the Inle Lake water quality as affected by different agricultural practices of tomato cultivation in the floating garden and to analyze the level of the pollution of the Lake water. Water samples were collected from two agricultural practices such as good agricultural practices (GAP) and non-good agricultural practices (non-GAP) during the harvesting time in wet season of 2019. The two additional water samples were also collected one from the central lake and another from the inlet stream into the lake. All collected water samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrite-nitrate, total nitrogen, orthophosphate and total phosphorus at the Department of Soil and Water Science, Yezin Agricultural University, Myanmar. The results showed that the mean value of temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity and total hardness were 26.5 and 25.6°C, 7.42 and 7.29, 0.37 and 0.38 dS m 247.2 and 239.6 mg L-', 168.4 and 190.4 mg L for GAP and non-GAP, respectively. The nutrients pollution such as nitrite-nitrate, total nitrogen, orthophosphate, total phosphorus from the non-GAP in the Lake was higher than those from GAP for tomato cultivation. It indicated that fertilizers usage from different agricultural practices had affected on Lake water quality. Due to differences in the Lake water quality between two practices, GAP may be most operational to manage the water pollution sources from agricultural production in order to conserve the Inle Lake. |
