This ebook highlights the anthropogenic pressures at the clean water our bodies and particularly, the Dal and Anchar Lake. because of weather swap and worldwide warming there's a chance that the glaciers which feed those water our bodies could be lost.
The lakes mentioned during this quantity can end up an essential resource of data on water and biodiversity in addition to the environmental gains. The certain exam of phytoplankton and zooplankton during this quantity will end up a key issue for destiny reviews within the box of biology and ecology.

2003) and Esmaeili and Johal (2005). The data on pH values reveals no marked difference at the study sites showing little effect of hotels, house boats and floating gardens on the pH of water. This might be due to buffering capacity of water as it absorbs acid or alkaline inputs without undergoing much change in its pH values. Singh (1960), Zutshi and Vass (1978), Sharma and Dhaneshwar (1986), Abel (1989), Kundangar and Ahmad (1991) and Jameson and Rana (1996) also observed similarly. Earlier Zutshi et al.
