Macroinvertebrate Communities as Integral Part of Water and Ecological Quality Indicator

Abstract

Most developing nations are known for having a rapidly growing population. This hastily increasing populous and modifications for agricultural expansion which has been adversely degrading the surroundings. Consequently, ongoing pollutants have been discharging into the water bodies with broad scopes that are seen as troublesome and degrade water quality. Benthic macroinvertebrates are susceptible to a variety of variables within a watershed, and water quality parameters. Pollution influences the invertebrate network through changing water movement, habitat, meal quality, and oxygen availability. Thus, the efforts of biological evaluation will permit the improvement of relationships between benthic stressors and the benthic community.
