Environmental flow requirements, to maintain the functioning of freshwater-dependent ecosystems and restore rivers in ecologically acceptable conditions, depend upon the present water quality status of the river. Various stretches of Vishwamitri River vary in quality and quantity. Water quality index is a tool to converse information regarding water quality of various stretches of river and can...

[1] The time series of clear-sky Land Surface Temperatures (LST) for one year, 2001, obtained from pyrgeometric observations at five selected US surface radiation (SURFRAD) stations and independently retrieved for the locations of these stations from Infrared Imager hourly observations of two geostationary satellites, GOES-8 and GOES-10, are presented as a sum of time-dependent expected value (...

12 The potential coupling of nitrogen (N2) fixation and sulfate reduction (SR) was explored in 13 sediments of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Sediment samples were retrieved 14 by a multiple corer at six stations along a depth transect (70 1025 m water depth) at 12°S, 15 covering anoxic and hypoxic bottom water conditions. Benthic N2 fixation, determined by 16 the acetylene reduction a...
