Pollution load duri ng the months of summer turns the fish species to develop certain adaptations. The sp ecies having more adaptive capabilities showed more in quantities; however some fish fauna is going on the way of scrub down from the study area. Careless management of some lakes and river and agricultural practices in lakes and river basins pollutes the water which cre ates hazards for eggs and fries to grow up in the adult fishes. Use of certain manures and insecticides in the lake water harms the fish fauna.

Sampling of water at downstream stations showed increased values of all parameters due to direct and indirect input of organic matter in water. Mostly washerman’s activities, bathing activities, river basin agriculture are found responsible to enhance the ionic concentration in river water. During rainy season the surface runoff soil, clay, etc., transfers enormous amount of solids in river water along with rainwater. The silting of rocks due to flooded water carries the salts of Mg, Fe and Cl, which imparts the more concentration of dissolved solids in river water. Seasonal study indicates that comparatively less water during summer season and concentration of pollutants due to intense activities of localities in and around the river basin, enhance more variations and higher values of Temperature (36.4oC)conductivity (702 umnos/cm), chlorides...

The sanctuary is a part of southern Melghat that encompasses unique ecosystem. The ethnomedicinal data reported was compiled through a fusion of interviews with the inhabitants. Various climbers were found to have medicinal potency. Brief description of each plant species is given, that includes botanical name, vernacular name, family, growth form, parts used and its medicinal information documenting the ethnomedicinal data could be useful as a basis for its conservation and sustainable use.

A STUDY OF IONIC STATUS OF WATER IN RELATION TO HUMAN ACTIVITIES PERFORMED IN AND AROUND THE RIVER WAINGANGA DIST. BHANDARA, (MS) INDIA

Octa Jr. of Env. Res. Vol. 2 (4), pp. 291-295., 2014

Sampling of water at downstream stations showed increased values of all parameters due to direct and indirect input of organic matter in water. Mostly washerman's activities, bathing activities, river basin agriculture are found responsible to enhance the ionic concentration in river water. During rainy season the surface runoff soil, clay, etc., transfers enormous amount of solids in river water along with rainwater. The silting of rocks due to flooded water carries the salts of Mg, Fe and Cl, which imparts the more concentration of dissolved solids in river water. Seasonal study indicates that comparatively less water during summer season and concentration of pollutants due to intense activities of localities in and around the river basin, enhance more variations and higher values of Temperature (36.4 º C)conductivity (702 umnos/cm), chlorides (57.2 mg/L), CO2 (24.0 mg/L), Hydrogen ion concentration (7.8). Total alkalinity (60.4 mg/L), Total dissolved solids (658.0 mg/L). All the parameters are estimated by using ELICO make portable water analysis kit except CO2 and Chlorides are measured by standard methods given by National Environmental Engineering Institute, Central India. The ionic concentrations in Wainganga river water is gradually increases from upstream station to downstream station and found to be well above the potable water standards.

EFFECT OF FUNGICIDE PROPICONAZOLE ON OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATES OF SNAIL LYMNAEA ACCUMINATA (LAMARCK

IJRBAT, Vol. 2 (3), pp. 301-306, 2014

Initially at 24 hours, at both the concentrations decrease in oxygen consumption rate is noted. At 48 hours stage, an increase in oxygen consumption rate is noticed at both the sublethal concentrations. At 72 hours stage in both the sublethal concentrations reduction in oxygen consumption is noted. At the end of 96 hours, again in both the concentration decrease in oxygen consumption prevailed. These experimental snails upon transfer to fresh water for 24 hours, showed recovery in oxygen consumption rate. Oxygen consumption rate are discussed with respect to sublethal concentration and time of exposure to toxicant Propiconazole.
