  • Challenges Faced and Solutions Towards Conservation of Ecology of Urban Lakes
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 3, Issue 10, October-2012 1 ISSN 2229-5518 Research paper Challenges Faced and Solutions towards Conservation of Ecology Of Urban Lakes. Patil Snehal1, Padalia Unnati1 ¹Department of Microbiology, K.J. Somaiya College of Science and Commerce, Mumbai - 400 077, India. Abstract: A lake is the most beautiful and expressive feature of a landscape. It is often described as the “Eye of the Earth “. Urban lakes form vital ecosystems supporting livelihood with social, economic and aesthetic benefits that are essential for quality life. The nutrient- poor, oligotrophic lake is oxygen saturated and has a low microbial population; whereas nutrient-rich, eutrophic lake has a bottom sediment layer and can have an anoxic hypolimnion. As microbial biomass increases with nutrient level, light penetration gets depleted. Thus the lower parts may receive poisonous gas like H2S released by anaerobes. The sewage and agricultural waste may increase the percentage of Nitrogen and Phosphorous into the lake waters. This in turn can cause bloom of algae, bacteria and plants in the epilimnion zone. Cyanobacteria in oligotrophic fresh water can cause algal bloom. It has been noted that if both Nitrogen and Phosphorus are present, Cyanobacteria competes with algae. Toxic blooms, as well as bacterial contamination and heavy metal pollution, may significantly impair all the water uses and represent a health risk of the urban population. Thus, in the last years, a growing public awareness has developed regarding the quality of urban lakes and special management plans in several urban areas have been augmented worldwide to restore the hygiene, maintain the recreational value and to avoid sanitary problems arising from the deterioration of their water quality.

In spite of the plethora of water resources, the people of the state are facing the problem of safe fresh water due to slope factor, management issues, urban conglomeration, deforestation and other environmental factors as discussed in the article. Besides this, an integrated approach considering the national water policy in state context is urgently required in difficult topographic and changing climatic conditions. The present article highlights the hydrogeology of the state, sustainable water resources including traditional water resources, drinking water supply system in state, Uttaranchal Koop, bank filtration technology. Furthermore, various suggestions are also incorporated for the fortification of water resources of the state.

N. Rao and Sushil Bhadula* Department of Zoology, R.H.G (P.G.) College, Kashipur, Udham Singh Nagar *Department of Environmental Science, Dev Sanskriti University, Haridwar Abstract: This study is focused on physico-chemical parameters and Phytoplanktonic diversity of Haripura reservoir water from September 2012 to August, 2013. The qualitative evaluation of plankton with seasonal variation and water quality of Haripura reservoir were analyzed. Three groups of phyto-plankton viz. Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Dinophyceae were identified during the study period, Bacillariophyceae were most dominant among the all groups at Haripura reservoir. During present study it was also revealed that the water of Haripura reservoir is polluted by direct contamination of local people, mismanagement of reservoir and other anthropogenic activities. Some selected Physico-chemical parameters viz. temperature, transparency, electric conductivity; dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, phosphates, nitrates and total hardness were monitored.
