Lonar crater is the natural water body and unique ecosystem with its own feature in Buldhana district of Maharashtra state in India. It is the crater formed by hyper velocity two million-ton meteorite the impacted on the earth. It was formed by hyper velocity meteorite impact and situated in the basaltic terrine. Lonar crater is the third largest natural saline-water lake in the world. The crater possesses the smallest forest sanctuary with great biological diversity. The crater is 150 meter in depth and is absolutely confined from all sides by the walls of the crater. There is not a single channel of water draining away from it, there by leaving the crater waters stagnant from thousands of years. Now a day’s many human activities create the pollution in and around the water body, due to which natural status of this crater may come in the danger zone of water pollution. In this connection the study were carried out in which water of Lonar crater were collected and analyzed for their physico-chemical characteristics in rainy season to report the status of water quality of Lonar crater.
