“…During the summer season, the villagers used to excavate the silt for purposes like brick making and strengthening of Kuchha roof tops to secure against water leakage in rainy season was one self driven practice ensuring the proper maintenance of depth parameter thus leading to the perpetual existence of rural ponds -is now totally wanting. The present studies are actually a fall off of our endeavour to make an account of migratory birds in Haryana [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] During these surveys, we witnessed the holocaust being poured on village ponds in Haryana and hence the present study. The entire state of Haryana was surveyed under one or the other pretext at random specially focusing attention on the studies of migratory wetland birds since 1985 onwards.…”

The most serious threat to traditional rural ponds in Haryana is associated with transformed societal behavioural patterns, ethics, values and life style, amongst several others. The siltation of ponds with adjoining areas, soil coming in with rain water is a very serious cause of stratification of rural ponds. Also contracting of village community land for sun drying of cow dung cakes inspires villagers to overload periphery of each pond with cow dung turning the premises into grave-yard of dung. This dung is the major source of polluting pond water into blackish water with high load of organic matter. Moreover, it leads to over excessive eutrophication. Building of major highways and connectivity roads have resulted into compartmentalization and degradation of village ponds. Inhabitation of peripheral village ponds boundaries by lower section of society for dwelling purposes is more threat to wetlands. The indifferent inclination of villagers towards silted ponds drenched in bad odour and blackish sludge is the story of 80% of the cases. The total blockage of run-off rainy water towards the natural age old rural ponds due to obstruction by way of human inhabitation has resulted into desertification of shallow water sheet in 90% of the cases. The oblivion of harvesting dried silt in summer for brick making has spelled doom for the ponds turning them into flat ground through successive decades and so on. The water quality in all ponds was overshooting the decaying stage due to the continuous mixing of cow dung drenched rainy water. Over excessive usage of ponds for bathing of cattle, dumping of cow dung and rotten vegetables waste has turned ponds into live sinks of dirt, gar bage and rural dairy wastes.

“…However, it is important to have information on the impact of aeration on other important water quality parameters in fish culture which includes temperature, pH, alkalinity. Temperature is an important water quality parameter and in an established aquaculture system the water temperature controls the rate of all chemical reactions, and affects fish growth, reproduction and immunity (Gupta et al, 2009). Alkalinity is the measure of the capacity of water to neutralize or buffer acids using carbonate, bicarbonate ions, and in rare cases, by hydroxide, thus protecting the organisms from major fluctuations in pH (Kelly et al, 2004).…”

This paper report findings of an investigation into the effect of aeration devices on some selected freshwater quality parameters. Three aeration columns, Upturned shower rose (USR), Downturned shower rose (DSR) and Perforated pipe (PEP) were experimented. Freshwater fish culture water was passed through the devices and analysed for Temperature, pH, Alkalinity and Dissolved oxygen (DO) in the morning, afternoon and evening. The percentage modification was used to measure the effect of aeration on the selected water quality parameters. Temperature modification ranged from-2.4% to 0% with equal value in all the aeration devices at all the period, Alkalinity ranged between-10.7% and 3.7% with least modification in DSR in the morning but highest in USR in the evening, The percentage modification in pH fell between-8.3% and-1.8% with the least modification in USR in the morning while the highest was recorded also in USR but in the evening. The DO ranged between 37.1% to 161.9% with the highest modification in DSR in the afternoon and the lowest in USR in the evening. The investigated aerating devices have little effect on all the selected water quality parameters, except for dissolved oxygen where the effect is very prominent.

The Nigdu-Sarovar is located in Nilokheri block in Karnal district in Haryana (29°50′N 76°55′E). The duration of observations span over seven years (September, 2005-March, 2012. The recording of wetland winter visitor birds during 2005-08 in winter season included atleast 58 species of birds belonging to 10 orders and 18 families. It is important to mention that 29 species of wetland birds were winter migratory, 17 residents, 9 local migratory and three species of wetland birds like Lesser -whistling
