Lake pollution has become a serious challenge considering the number of infectious diseases caused by contaminated water. To understand more about the concentration of pollutant released in a lake, this study formulates a partial differential equation (PDE) model of parabolic type, discretized via the Crank-Nicolson scheme. The accuracy of the formulated scheme was ascertained through the Von Neumann analysis. Our numerical simulation reveals that the concentration of pollutants spreads exponentially at each time steps
