Journal of Applied and Natural Science, 13(2), 593 - 606. https://doi.org/10.31018/jans.v13i2.2666 Abstract Assessments of avian communities’ composition in different habitats give an emphasis in monitoring environmental perspective. Depending on specific habitat functioning, their population pattern helps to determine the ecological health of an area. Bird sur- veys were accomplished on a fortnightly basis from October 2019 to September 2020 using Scan sampling, Point count and Line transect methods for evaluation of species abundance and richness in and around Ottu Reservoir, district Sirsa, Haryana (India). A total of 114 species comprising 91 genera, 47 families and 18 orders were recorded, among which 76 species were resident, 30 winter migrants and 8 summer migrants. Out of reported 114 species of birds, one species was vulnerable, 6 Near- threatened as listed by IUCN. Three bird species were listed under Schedule-I and the remaining species under Schedule-IV of IWPA (1972); six species under appendices of CITES (2012).

K. S. University, Ara, Bihar-802301 *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT In this paper water quality of river Hindon has been investigated using different model of water quality index and the quality of river Hindon was assessed. Eight physico-chemical parameters, such as pH, conductivity, TDS, alkalinity, DO, TH, Ca, Mg as variable were used for measuring water quality index. The level of quality of water and pollution in the river of twelve sampling stations namely S-I (Paragpur), S-II (Lakhnaur), S-III (Bhaghanpur) of Saharanpur district, S-IV (Anechh), S-V (Titawi), S-VI (BHL Budhana) of Muzzafar Nagar district, S-VII (Barnava), S-VIII (Pura Mahadev), S-IX (Ahmad)of Bagpat district, S-X (Daluhera) of Meerut, S-XI (Surana), S-XII (Nagar) of Ghaziabad district, UP during pre- monsoon (March to May), monsoon (June to September) and post-monsoon period (October to February) were observed and found in the ranges of 163.89-487.89 and 33-51.796 evaluated by Tiwari and Mishra and Akkaraboyina and Raju methods. The results infer bad quality of water all over the sampling stations of Hindon River. Most of the sites were found to be severally polluted and water is not fit even for industrial purposes.

A multi-index system has been used to assess the ecological health which includes Carlson’s Trophic State Index (CTSI), Simpson’s Diversity Index (SDI) and Water Quality Index (WQI). The results indicated that the lake health is average but is approaching to bad condition as indicated by EHI of 2.93. Suitable conservative measures should be adopted to arrest its further degradation. Certain conservative measures are also suggested. Keywords: Ecological Health Index (EHI), Carlson’s Trophic State Index (CTSI), Simpson’s Diversity Index (SDI), Eutrophication, Secchi depth use data, hydrology, stream side zone, physical habitat, INTRODUCTION water quality, aquatic life and ecosystem processes data.7 In India, the number of degraded water bodies is Other works include the assessment of water quality and increasing, thereby, posing serious water scarcity problems phytoplankton density 11, assessment of physio-chemical for various uses. Assessment of ecological health of fresh characteristics 12, study of Avian & plant species 13 of Tilyar water bodies like rivers, lakes, wetlands etc. is carried out by Lake.
