  • Effect of Some Heavy Metals On
    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 107(Part-2) : 1-19, 2007 EFFECT OF SOME HEAVY METALS ON LAMPITO MAURITII KINBERG (ANNELIDA: OLIGO CHAETA) IN MUNICIPAL WASTES DISPOSAL SITE AND A RESERVE FOREST FLOOR SITE OF WEST BENGAL, INDIA A. CHOWDHURY AND A. K. HAZRA Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700 053, India INTRODUCTION As a result of the increasing interest paid to the recycling of wastewater, municipal wastes and sewage sludge in agricultural practice, it becomes necessary to study the uptake of heavy metals in invertebrates in general and earthworm in particular. It is evident that earthworm can accumulate heavy metals from surrounding polluted soils and other media in their body (Gish and Christensen, 1973; van Hook, 1974; van Rhee, 1975; Ireland, 1979, 1983; Ash and Lee, 1980; Beyer, 1981; Beyer et 01. 1982; Kruse and Barrett, 1985). But no such work has been carried out in India. To fill up this lacuna the present study has been conducted with the following objectives: To determine whether this dominant species of L. mauritii could be use to absorb the heavy metals in contaminated soil and to compare them with a less polluted controlled reserve forest floor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Earthworm samples were collected month wise at random by digging and hand sorting method. Collected samples were repeatedly washed in water and then kept in double distilled water for 72 hours to evacuate soil from its gut. After that period earthworm samples were preserved in 10% formalin. Preserved samples were washed in double distilled water and then oven dried at 65°C for 48 hours Dried samples were crushed, weighed on a microbalance and acid (Nitric and Perchloric) digested on a hot plate.

If it regularly supports > 20000 waterbirds or 1% of individuals in 1 species or subspecies of waterbird. If it supports a significant proportion of indigenous fish subspecies; if it is an importance source of food for fishes, spawning ground, nursery and migration path. It is an important source of food and water resource, increased possibilities for recreation and eco-tourism, imporved scenic and educational values.

  • Are You Suprised ? F…
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 has been aimed to fulfill the water quality requirement of designated-best-uses of all the natural aquatic resources. Loss of bio-diversity on account of degradation of habitat has become the cause of major concern in recent years. Central Pollution Control Board, while executing the nation wide responsibility for water quality monitoring and management has established water quality monitoring network in the country. The Water Quality Monitoring Network constitutes 784 monitoring stations located on various water bodies all over the country. However, wetland areas have not been included as part of regular water quality monitoring network in the country. Keeping in view the importance of water quality of wetland areas, Central Pollution Control Board has initiated studies on Bio-monitoring of selected wetlands in wildlife habitats of the country. Bio monitoring of wetlands in wild life sanctuaries has been considered as most suitable measure to evaluate the health of wildlife ecosystem. Further, the monitoring of environmental variables will be immensely helpful in protecting and restoring the ecological status in these threatened habitats. 2.0 CPCB’S INITIATIVES FOR BIO-MONITORING OF WETLANDS Under the Indo-Dutch collaborative project, the development of bio- monitoring methodology for Indian river water quality evaluation was initiated during 1988. The Central Pollution Control Board carried out a pilot study on the River Yamuna for a selected stretch from Delhi upstream to Etawah downstream. The main objective of this study was to formulate strategic methods, which can be accepted in scientific and legislative framework for water quality evaluation.

  • E-Flow) in River Yamuna
    Environmental flow (E-Flow) in river Yamuna Context: The Hon’ble NGT in its judgment dated 13 January 2015 and through subsequent directions in OA No 6 of 2012 and 300 of 2013 given directions for the maintenance of requisite environmental flow in river Yamuna downstream of the barrage at Hathnikund in Haryana and at Okhla in Delhi so that there is enough fresh water flowing in the river till Agra for restoration of the river’s ecological functions. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had in W.P. ( C ) 537 of 1992 directed on 14 May 1999, that “a minimum flow of 10 cumecs (353 cusec) must be allowed to flow throughout the river Yamuna”. The report of the three member committee of MoWR, RD and GR on Assessment of Environmental Flows (E-Flows) has in March 2015 determined scientifically that E Flows as % of 90% dependable virgin flow at downstream Pashulok Barrage, Rishikesh on river Ganga should be 65.80%. It may be noted that the situation of river Yamuna at the Hathnikund barrage in Haryana is comparable to the situation at Rishikesh on river Ganga. In addition river Ganga at Rishikesh carries far more virgin flow in it as compared to leaner river Yamuna at Hathnikund. E – Flow in river Yamuna In view of the above it has been estimated that the E Flow in river Yamuna downstream of the barrage at Hathnikund should be no less than 2500 cusec (around 70% of the average minimum virgin flow of 3500 cusec reported at Hathnikund barrage during the leanest month of January).
