“…Many workers have reported blue green algae as a dominant group during these periods (Santhosh et al, 2007;Zacharias and Roy 2007;Khanna andIndu, 2009 andJeyabaye, 2010). The dominant nature of Cyanophycean members are the characteristic feature of eutrophic environment which have high concentrations of nutrient especially phosphate and nitrate (Neelam et al, 2009). In the present study maximum population of blue green algae was observed during the months when the temperature was recorded higher.…”

The present study was to understand the diversity and distribution pattern of microalgae in fresh water system represented by an open artificial pond. A total of 100 species of phytoplanktons were indentified from different groups during March 2014 to February 2015. Among the identified phytoplankton species Cyanophyceae (39%) formed the dominant group, followed by Chlorophyceae (34%) Bacillariophyceae (23%) and Euglenophyceae (4%). The fluctuations in the physico-chemical parameters like pH, temperature, EC, DO, BOD, COD, turbidity, alkalinity, hardness, nitrate, silicate, phosphate and were also been monitored. The result provides a primary documentation of the phytoplankton community and its diversity and basic understanding of hydrological variables in the pond ecosystem.

“…A study by Verma and Negandhi (2011) represented the ongoing work of one author (Verma et al, 2001(Verma et al, , 20082009a, 2009b on the Bhoj Wetland in Madhya Pradesh, India, and as such it was difficult for us to neatly classify this study within the ACM. The study authors used the results of focus groups with government stakeholders and a survey of approximately 1500 households to inform a model (STELLA 5.2) of the WES of the Bhoj Wetland given historical trends and changes to policy-with which the previous work of the authors had been involved.…”

With climate change and urbanization, city planners and developers have increasing interest and practice in constructing, restoring, or incorporating wetlands as forms of green infrastructure to maintain water-related ecosystem services (WES). We reviewed studies that valued in functional or monetary units the water regulation and purification services of urban wetlands around the globe. We used the adaptive management cycle (AMC) as a heuristic to determine the step that a study would represent in the AMC, the connections between the cycle steps that were used or considered, and the stakeholders involved. Additionally, we identified the social, ecological, and/or technological dimension(s) of the environmental stressors and management strategies described by study authors. While use-inspired research on WES occurs throughout the globe, most studies serve to singularly assess problems or monitor urban wetlands, consider or use no connectors between steps, and involve no stakeholder groups. Both stressors and strategies were overwhelmingly multidimensional, with the social dimension represented in the majority of both. We highlight studies that successfully interfaced with cities across multiple steps, connectors, engaged stakeholder groups, and disseminated findings and skills to stakeholder groups. True use-inspired research should explicitly involve management systems that are used by city stakeholders and propose multidimensional solutions.

Bhopal, the capital city of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India is famous for its numerous lakes. The Bhoj Wetland is a wetland of international importance (Ramsar Site). In the two years of study period, a total of 82 zooplankton species were recorded from February 2008-January 2010. Out of which 66 species were recorded in the 1 st year (2008-2009), and 70 species documented during the 2 nd year (2009-2010). The zooplankton population belongs to five major groups namely: Rotifera (46%), followed by Cladocera (34%), Protozoa (10%) and Copepoda and Ostracoda contributing 6 and 4%, respectively. With regards to Rotifera, in the major peak of June 2009 (38 species), was dominated by the various species of Brachionus and Keratella. The population density data revealed that cumulative site mean density ranged from 84 to 1579 Ind. l -1 , with an overall mean of 399 Ind. l -1 . The 24 months of mean site density indicated a major peak of 1579 Ind. l -1, in June 2009, with 47 and 43% contribution from Copepoda and Rotifera. However, among Copepoda, Cyclops and Nauplius larvae were major contributors to this peak and among Rotifera, Brachionus caudatus and Keratella tropica were dominant contributors. The comparative cumulative mean data on zooplankton in Bhoj Wetland indicate that during the 1 st year, the diversity was 31 species and 30 species in the 2 nd year. The mean density, during the 1 st year was 276 Ind.l -1 that increased to 468 Ind.l -1 in the 2 nd year. This variation in density during two years may be attributed low water volume caused by drought conditions in the second year. Bhoj wetland is under eutrophic state as a result of human stress in the catchment area. Further, increase of plant nutrients in the wetland waters is deteriorating its ecological condition.Hence, it is imperative to focus on preservation of these endangered habitats to achieve ecological sustainability.
