Hydrostatic Densitometer for Monitoring Density in Freshwater to Hypersaline Water Bodies

How Close Do We Live to Water? A Global Analysis of Population Distance to Freshwater Bodies

Traditionally, people have inhabited places with ready access to fresh water. Today, over 50% of the global population lives in urban areas, and water can be directed via tens of kilometres of pipelines. Still, however, a large part of the world's population is directly dependent on access to natural freshwater sources. So how are inhabited places related to the location of freshwater bodies to...

A phycocyanin probe as a tool for monitoring cyanobacteria in freshwater bodies.

In many countries, the presence of cyanobacteria in freshwater bodies used for both drinking water and recreational purposes is under increasing public health attention. Water managers are considering how to implement monitoring that leads to a minimization of the risks incurred by the users of potentially contaminated sites. To address this question, this study involved assessing the performan...

fish diversity in freshwater perennial water bodies in east midnapore district of west bengal, india

present survey synthesized information on fish biodiversity in the perennial freshwater body of ramnagar, east midnapore district of west bengal, india. we documented 45 fish species under 29 genera, 18 families and 8 orders during the periods from1990 to 1995, whereas, 34 species from 21 genera and 12 families under 7 orders were recorded presently from freshwater body of different perennial p...

Bacterial Dormancy Is More Prevalent in Freshwater than Hypersaline Lakes

Bacteria employ a diverse array of strategies to survive under extreme environmental conditions but maintaining these adaptations comes at an energetic cost. If energy reserves drop too low, extremophiles may enter a dormant state to persist. We estimated bacterial dormancy and identified the environmental variables influencing our activity proxy in 10 hypersaline and freshwater lakes across th...
