Lakes are vital freshwater ecosystems that sustain biodiversity, support livelihoods, and drive socio-economic growth globally. However, they face escalating threats from anthropogenic activities, including urbanization, agricultural runoff, pollution, which exacerbated by climate change. Phewa Lake in Nepal was selected for this study due to its increasing rates of nutrient enrichment, sedimentation, pollution. This evaluated seasonal spatial water quality variations within the lake...

Abstract Satellite imagery-based spectral indices are essential for monitoring natural resource changes and urban environments. Assessing these is vital management environmental sustainability. This study adopted geospatial techniques satellite imagery (Landsat 5 TM Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS) to analyze in key indices, i.e. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Built-Up (NDBI), Water (NDWI) over the past three decades (1991–2022) low land region of Far Western Nepal. The examined temporal...

Benthic macroinvertebrates play a significant role in assessing the water quality of aquatic ecosystems. This study was conducted to assess river Hanumante River situated at Kathmandu Valley, Nepal using benthic as bioindicators. Altogether seventeen sites were monitored following globally recognized multi-habitat sampling along from Muhanpokhari Narephant (Jadibuti) standard hand net with frame width 25 × cm2, metallic 500 µm mesh size. The collected identified family level. A total 10...
