K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • Surface Water Analysis in Selected Rivers of Pathanamthitta District, Kerala
    International Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences International Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences ISSN: 2455-698X Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.pharmacyjournal.in Volume 3; Issue 1; January 2018; Page No. 17-20 Surface water analysis in selected rivers of Pathanamthitta district, Kerala * Kavitha G, Irene Thomas, Lisa Sara, Aswathy Bose, Dr. Elessy Abraham Nazareth College of Pharmacy Othera, Thiruvalla, Kerala, India Abstract Water is the major source for drinking in both urban and rural parts of India. Clean water is absolutely essential for healthy living and is a precious gift of nature. Water is being polluted with increased population, agricultural needs and industrial purpose. The polluted water on drinking may cause serious effect in human beings, domestic animals and even in the case of aquatic organisms. The physicochemical parameters of water samples from Pathanamthitta district were assessed. Water samples were collected from rivers such as Pamba, Manimala, Achankovil, and Kallada. The surface water was analyzed for various physicochemical parameters like colour, odour, taste, turbidity, pH, temperature, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, sulphate, nitrate, sodium, potassium, iron, aluminium, conductance, total dissolved solid and chloride after following the methods of American Public Health Association 1995. The results were compared with Bureau of Indian Standard and World Health Organization. The total alkalinity of surface water samples of Achankovil and Manimala rivers flowing through Pathanamthitta district were above desirable limit and also the quality of the surface water should be continuously monitored and can be used for cooking and drinking only after proper treatment. Keywords: surface water analysis, standards, physico chemical analysis Introduction Aim of our study Water quality is fundamental for good river health.

  • Morphological and Genetic Evidence for Multiple Evolutionary Distinct
    Morphological and Genetic Evidence for Multiple Evolutionary Distinct Lineages in the Endangered and Commercially Exploited Red Lined Torpedo Barbs Endemic to the Western Ghats of India Lijo John1,2., Siby Philip3,4,5., Neelesh Dahanukar6,7, Palakkaparambil Hamsa Anvar Ali5, Josin Tharian8, Rajeev Raghavan5,7,9,10*, Agostinho Antunes3,4* 1 Marine Biotechnology Division, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi, India, 2 Export Inspection Agency (EIA), Kochi, India, 3 CIMAR/CIIMAR, Centro Interdisciplinar de Investigac¸a˜o Marinha e Ambiental, Rua dos Bragas, Porto, Portugal, 4 Departamento de Biologia, Faculdade de Cieˆncias, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, Porto, Portugal, 5 Conservation Research Group (CRG), St. Albert’s College, Kochi, India, 6 Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, India, 7 Zoo Outreach Organization (ZOO), Coimbatore, India, 8 Department of Zoology, St. John’s College, Anchal, Kerala, India, 9 Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE), University of Kent, Canterbury, United Kingdom, 10 Research Group Zoology: Biodiversity & Toxicology, Center for Environmental Sciences, University of Hasselt, Diepenbeek, Belgium Abstract Red lined torpedo barbs (RLTBs) (Cyprinidae: Puntius) endemic to the Western Ghats Hotspot of India, are popular and highly priced freshwater aquarium fishes. Two decades of indiscriminate exploitation for the pet trade, restricted range, fragmented populations and continuing decline in quality of habitats has resulted in their ‘Endangered’ listing. Here, we tested whether the isolated RLTB populations demonstrated considerable variation qualifying to be considered as distinct conservation targets. Multivariate morphometric analysis using 24 size-adjusted characters delineated all allopatric populations. Similarly, the species-tree highlighted a phylogeny with 12 distinct RLTB lineages corresponding to each of the different riverine populations.
