The precursors of deterioration immaculate Kashmir Himalaya water bodies are apparent. This study statistically analyzes the deteriorating quality Sukhnag stream, one major inflow stream Lake Wular. Statistical techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA), regression analysis, and cluster were applied to 26 parameters. PCA identified a reduced number mean 2 varifactors, indicating that 96% temporal spatial changes affect in this stream. First factor from explained 66% total...
Multivariate techniques, discriminant analysis, and WQI were applied to analyze a water quality data set including 27 parameters at 5 sites of the Lake Wular in Kashmir Himalaya from 2011 2013 investigate spatiotemporal variations identify potential pollution sources. Spatial temporal evaluated through stepwise analysis (DA). The first spatial function (DF) accounted for 76.5% total variance, second DF 19.1%. mean values temperature, EC, total-N, K, silicate showed strong contribution...
Abstract Aquatic macrophytes constitute important components of many freshwater ecosystems. The manifold role aquatic in habitats is closely linked to their distribution, which turn depends on a myriad factors. Foremost, among these are light, water temperature, quality changes and nutrient enrichment, sediment composition fluctuations levels. Light temperature paramount importance determining the distribution (with depth, season latitude), thereby influencing productivity species as well....
Abstract Introduction The impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) pattern on surface components water are less well recognized, particularly in the Kashmir Himalaya. paper highlights relationship between LULC and chemistry for Wular Lake Methods We used Indian Remote Sensing satellite (IRS) P6 using LISS III sensor with a spatial resolution 23.5 m various categories. ERDAS IMAGINE 9.0 ArcGIS 9.3 were to generate map. Water parameters like pH temperature measured field, while dissolved oxygen,...
The purpose of this study was to collect data estimate curve number (CN) values for concrete and asphalt surfaces determine how these are affected by rainfall intensity duration, pavement slope. Two two pavements size 15.24m×3.05m at respective slopes 2.2 4.6% 2.4 5% were constructed conduct field experiments. A water distribution system specially designed simulate variable intensities. total 64 experiments conducted. Rainfall intensities ranged from 0.635 36.29cm∕h(0.25to14.28in.∕h),...
The present work is aimed at comparing the various diversity indices applied to crustacean community assemblages in Wular Lake during September 2010 August 2011. In all, 42 taxa were identified, of which 23 were Cladocera, 16 Copepoda and only 3 Ostracoda. Different species have different ecological requirements which enable them thrive well their niches determine patterns extent structure an ecosystem. Various used assess basic zooplankton, distribution interactions so as insight into...
The present study scrutinizes the seasonal variation in distribution of crustacean zooplankton relation to physico-chemical liminology Wular lake. Water samples were collected from five sites during September 2010-August 2011. Remarkable spatial and temporal variations observed among different sites. Among parameters recorded water temperature showed positive correlation with pH (p<0.01) orthophosphate (p<0.05).Transparency a significant negative total alkalinity (p<0.01), free carbon...
An unprecedented increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel combustion and land use change necessitates identification strategies for mitigating threat attendant global warming. However, challenges climate can be effectively overcome by storage terrestrial sinks viz. plants, plant products soils longer periods time. Carbon sequestration this regard is truly a win–win strategy. It restores degraded soils, enhances biomass production, purifies surface...
Water quality characterization of Himalayan streams that provide variety ecosystem services including drinking water to zooming population is indispensable. In this background, the Rambiarrah watershed was carried out from Autumn 2016 Summer 2018, which revealed all parameters were within prescribed limits World Health Organization (WHO) and Beauru Indian Standards (BIS) except total coliform (TC) fecal (FC). Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) displayed 3 clusters, cluster I, II, III with...
A continuous simulation technique, based on the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method, is used to determine annual storm runoff coefficients (ASRCs) for Orlando, Florida using 13 years of daily rainfall data. The ASRC, which defined as ratio precipitation, volume (or depth) and pollutant loads in storm-water models under wet conditions. Although simulated ASRC values are very similar measured other studies, they significantly lower than predicted by existing models. Estimating modeling...
The present study envisages the importance of monitoring and management freshwater springs Kashmir Himalaya due to role they play in meeting ever-increasing drinking water demands maintaining various ecosystem services. Therefore, some most pressing issues fundamental existence is their because geological, ecological, scientific, cultural, religious societal importance. Despite key that play, are today continuously facing types threats. Springs have attained recently an extraordinary as...
Abstract A method is presented to compute the ratio of vertical horizontal component hydraulic conductivity a homogeneous aquifer using finite‐element model. The requires knowledge of: (1) boundary conditions along cross section aquifer, and (2) head measurements two vertically separated well screens (preferably at top bottom aquifer). was used estimate anisotropy for Port St. Lucie, Florida. value also estimated this region by comparing measured tidally influenced ground‐water elevations...
The present investigation was carried out during 2005-06 on three limnocrene freshwater springs located in single groundwater area Kokergund (Yaripora) of District Kulgam, Kashmir, India. A perusal the data showed that these were hard water type with slightly lower values dissolved oxygen (DO) (1.2-6.4mg/L). ionic composition spring waters revealed predominance bicarbonate and calcium over other ions usual progression as HCO3- >Ca++ >Mg++ >Na+ >K+. None parameters studied foated...
This study analyses a macroinvertebrate community survey for River Sindh and its tributary including Baltal, Yashmarg, Sonamarg Thajwas Grar considering the extreme hydrological conditions linked with seasonal low-flow period typical some streams in this area. attempts to provide an overview of macro invertebrate assemblages physico-chemical variables important tributary. Four sites were selected from studying ecological distribution Macroinvertebrate assemblages. Totally, 33 taxa...

The wheel animalcules, belonging to minor phylum Rotifera are the most important soft-bodied invertebrate pseudocoelomates, bilaterally symmetrical, metazoan protostomes ranging from 50 2,000 mm in size with three regions (corona, trunk and foot) body. Phylum cosmopolitan distribution has an estimate of about 2,030 identified species. Because their great importance aquatic ecosystems, existing literature on rotifers is quite considerable worldwide, yet comparatively scanty available taxonomy...
Abstract To study the impact of brick kiln emissions on plant growth and productivity, a was conducted various biochemical parameters three main vegetables Brassica oleracea L., Phaseolus vulgaris Solanum melongena L. cultivated in vicinity area Panzan village district Budgam (J&K). Plants kilns are direct recipients therefore important materials for assessing potential effects pollutants.
