This study is aimed to access the drastically changes in water quality of Manungpat of Thanga island which is surrounded by Loktak lake (the largest fresh water lake in North east India) standard methods were used to analyse the variations of different physico-chemical parameters of 4 different sampling sites from February 2016 to February 2017. During the study, the parameters like temperature (15˚C-28˚C), Transparency (50.1cm-120cm),PH(7-8.4),Total alkalinity (38.5mgl-1-99 mgl-1),Electrical conductivity (59.6?mhoscm-1-85.6? mhoscm-1),DO2 (4.3mgl-1-8.5mgl-1), Free CO2 (5.1mgl-1-10.7mgl-1), Chloride (1.9mgl-1-5.3mgl-1), Magnesium (0.82mgl-1-3.24mgl-1), Phosphate (0.011mgl-1-0.074mgl-1), Potassium (1.11mgl-1-4.36mgl-1) were recorded but some were at the permissible level some were very low. At present population explosion and anthropogenic activities had altered its hydrobiology and aggravated so by the excessive growth and proliferation of phumdis (a heterogeneous mass of soil, vegetables and organic matters in different stages of decay).
