Appraising Water Quality Aspects for an Expanse of River Cauvery alongside Srirangapatna
نویسنده
چکیده
River Cauvery which converts Srirangapatna into an island is one among the most significant holy places in Southern India. In the present study, an expanse of river Cauvery was selected based on prevailing human activities and its water quality was monitored across 12 strategic points over two seasons. The river is also presently serving as a principle means of municipal wastewater carrier. The water samples were analyzed based on various analytical techniques during wet and dry flow conditions, to ascertain the probable water quality for the average flow conditions. The analysis highlighted that the Dissolved Oxygen of river was significantly less along with the increase in Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Total Coliform population, therewith clearly indicating impairment of the natural water-course beyond its self-purification capacity.

Zooplanktons are microscopic organisms, which are integral components of aquatic food web, as they contribute significantly to productivity of freshwater ecosystems. They are also very sensitive to environmental changes; therefore they make ideal indicator organisms. Total zooplankton (Rotifer, Cladocera, Copepod and Ostracod) abundance was significantly more in Cauvery river with the mean abun...
