The purpose of this study was to assess the water qualities and genotoxicity of Maheshara Lake situated near Gorakhpur, India. The lake receives many types of pollutants from two industries, agricultural run-off and domestic sewages. A total of five sampling stations were established for measurement of water pollution and the measurement of cytogenetic alterations in vivo is considered an initi...

heavy metal concentrations in surface water, wastewater and sediments collected from mighan lake in markazi province, iran were analyzed, and assessment contamination were evaluated according to the water and sediment quality guidelines. the results showed that the average concentrations of heavy metals in water were ranked as: ni> cr> pb> fe> cu> zn. in comparison with results the background v...

The main aim of this work was to construct and validate a mathematical water quality model of the Dianchi lake, so that by altering input total phosphate (TP) loads the projected changes in the lake water TP concentrations could be estimated. Historical information had indicated deteriorating lake water quality with increasing TP concentrations. The model was based on a simple annual mass balan...

The study describes the range extension of the sea horse Hippocampus fuscus from the south to north east coastal waters of the India, Bay of Bengal. After 99 years since initial discovery, the Hippocampus fuscus was reported within the southern sector of the Chilika Lake. The extension range may be due to the East India Coastal Current of the Bay of Bengal and the predominance of extensive sea ...

Ancient Lake Ohrid is a steep-sided, oligotrophic, karst lake that was tectonically formed most likely within the Pliocene and often referred to as a hotspot of endemic biodiversity. This study aims on tracing significant lake level fluctuations at Lake Ohrid using high-resolution acoustic data in combination with lithological, geochemical, and chronological information from two sediment cores ...

Lake-level variations at Marcella Lake, a small, hydrologically closed lake in the southwestern Yukon Territory, document changes in effective moisture since the early Holocene. Former water levels, driven by regional palaeohydrology, were reconstructed by multiproxy analyses of sediment cores from four sites spanning shallow to deep water. Marcella Lake today is thermally stratified, being pro...

Kenya’s cut-flower industry has been praised as an economic success as it contributed an annual average of US$ 141 million foreign exchange (7 % of Kenyan export value) over the period 1996–2005 and about US$ 352 million in 2005 alone. The industry also provides employment, income and infrastructure such as schools and hospitals for a large population around Lake Naivasha. On the other hand, th...

a student-centric research education program with the active participation of undergraduate students is initiated. the aim is to imbibe ―responsible citizenship behavior‖ in them so that each member becomes conscious and well trained to take up environmental-related issues and challenges for long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. in this work, we report spectrophotometer-based estimation of...
