  • Assessment of Water Quality of Lungding Stream Through Biomonitoring
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Assessment of Water Quality of Lungding Stream through Biomonitoring Nilu Paul1, A. K. Tamuli2, R. Teron3, J. Arjun4 1Department of Zoology, Lumding College, Lumding, Assam, India 2Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University Diphu Campus, Diphu, Assam, India 3Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University Diphu Campus, Diphu, Assam, India 4Department of Zoology, Lumding College, Lumding, Assam, India Abstract: Stream ecosystem biomonitoring has been widely used to assess the status of water. It provides information on the health of an ecosystem based on which organisms live in a waterbody. The benthic community is dependent on its surrounding and therefore, it serves as an indicator that reflects the overall condition of the ecosystem. Among the commonly used biomoniting approaches, biotic indices and multimetric approaches are most frequently used to evaluate the environment health of streams and rivers. The macro invertebrate fauna and physico-chemical parameters of Lungding stream of Dima Hasao district were studied seasonally from March 2017 to February 2018. A total of 13 species of benthic invertebrate fauna belonging to three phyla (Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca), five classes (Hirudinea, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Crustacea, Insecta) and thirteen families (Hirudinidae, Physidae, Anomidae, Gammaridae,Panaediae, Baetidae Aeshnidae, Belostometidae, Hydrophilidae, Chaoboridae, Chironomidae) were found in the Lungding stream during the study. Gastropoda was predominant (23.71 %) followed by Crustacea, Bivalvia and Hirudinidae with percentage composition of 19%, 16.59% and 11.42% respectively. Among Insects, Dipteran midges (Chaoboridae) with 8.84% were the dominant group.

  • Theoretical Framework of the Study
    CHAPTER - II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY 2.1 Introduction Assam is popularly known as the “Land of The Blue Hills and Red Rivers”, Occupying a strategic position and also known as the Gate Way to the North-East States. Assam has been a land of culture and civilization, arts, craft, beauty and has retained her cultural integrity of the country. It is close to international boundaries i.e.China, Burma, Bhutan and Bangladesh. In ancient period Assam was known as Pragjyotisha and later on Kamrupa. In those days the region was divided into number of principalities, ruled by tribal chiefs. So, in those days, there was no state called Assam. As such it is after the coming of the Ahoms in thirteenth century from Thailand and Mayanmar, the state of Assam gradually emerged. The Ahoms conquered the native tribes of the region and eventually established their kingdom which came to be known as Assam. The Ahoms ruled Assam for about of 600 years till the Yandaboo treaty in 1826 between Myanmar and British administration in India. During the period, Assam also included Nagaland (Naga Hills),Meghalaya (Khasi, jaintia and Garo Hills) and Mizoram (Lushai Hills) as districts. But in the post independent period Nagaland was made full flaged state in 1963, Meghalaya in 1972, and Mizoramin 1987. As a result, Assam has become smaller than what it 66 was in the pre-Independence days. At present Assam is an important state of North East India, which may be called gate-way to other states viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur , Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.
