In present study, 21 species of cladocerans were recorded belonging to 5 families: Chydoridae, Daphnidae, Bosminidae, Macrothricidae and Sididae. Chydorids were responsible for major cladoceran diversity followed by daphnids. The frequently species found were Chydorus sphaericus, Graptoleberis testudinaria, Daphnia pulex, Ceriodaphnia reticulata and Bosmina longirostris. While comparing the cladoceran diversity of present study with earlier studies, many species present earlier were not found in present study due to increasing pollution of the lake. However, five species (Chydorus sphaericus, Graptoleberis testudinaria, Bosmina longirostris, Sida crystallina and Diaphanosoma brachyurum) recorded earlier were still present and were reported by all authors. This depicted that these species can tolerate wide range of fluctuations in environmental changes. Further, Daphnia pulex was not recorded in earlier studies but was recorded latter which also showed increased

  • Restoration of Springs Around Manasbal Lake
    INTACH Jammu & Kashmir Chapter I Vol: 3 I Issue: 14I Month: July, 2018 Restoration of springs around Manasbal Lake Photo: Ongoing restoration of spring around Manasbal Lake, Ganderbal (INTACH 2018). As part of its natural heritage conservation program, INTACH Kashmir takes up restoration of springs around Manasbal Lake as a pilot. In the initial phase of restoration drive, 50 springs were restored around the lake. The life line of any community is water. In Kashmir, nature has bestowed with a rich resource of water in the form of lakes, rivers and above all springs. These springs were a perennial water source for local communities. Unfortunately most and a large number of these springs are facing extinction due to neglect which results water shortages in villages and at some places we have water refugees or climate migrants. The springs are critical part of our survival and needs to be preserved. Keeping in view the importance of preservation of these natural resources which is our natural heritage also, INTACH Kashmir initiated a drive to the springs around Manasbal lake which are on the verge of extinction. restore the springs. A local NGO from There was an overwhelming response from the local inhabitants during the dis trict Ganderbal, Heeling Touch Foundation is involved to identify restoration process. 1 I N D I A N N A T I O N A L T R U S T F O R A R T & C U L T U R A L H E R I T A G E INTACH Jammu & Kashmir Chapter I Vol: 3 I Issue: 14I Month: July, 2018 RESTORATION OF SPRINGS AROUND MANASBAL LAKE 2 I N D I A N N A T I O N A L T R U S T F O R A R T & C U L T U R A L H E R I T A G E INTACH Jammu & Kashmir Chapter I Vol: 3 I Issue: 14I Month: July, 2018 INTACH Jammu celebrates Vanmohatsav festival, plants Chinar saplings INTACH Jammu Chapter, in collaboration with Floriculture Department, Jammu Municipal Corporation and local residents celebrated “VANMAHOTSAV” on 11th July 2018.

Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.

  • Water Bodies and Lakes in Kashmir
    Lakes in Kashmir Dal Lake • Dal Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes of India and the second largest in the J&K state. Its three sides are surrounded by majestic mountains and a large number of gardens and orchards have been laid along the shores. The campus of University of Kashmir is also located along the shores of the lake. Dal Lake is unique in having hundreds of houseboats, which afford an opportunity for tourists to reside on the lake in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. • Nagin Lake Nagin Lake is located just a small distance away from Dal Lake. In fact both the water bodies are interconnected by a small water channel. In summer time the water is pleasantly cool. Even in the middle of the lake you can experience the thrill of shopping. There are boats that are full-fledged shops on the move. You can buy eateries, exquisite handicrafts, even the famous Pashmina shawls, and if you wish, you can even make a call from the mobile phone booths. • Wular Lake It is difficult to describe in mere words the beguiling beauty of WularLake. For one, its formidable size - this is one of Asia's largest fresh water lakes - for another, it changes character with every few miles. The drive from Srinagar will take you to the calm waters of Manasbal, where there is no other sound but birdsong. Manasbal has often been described as the bird watcher's paradise, and as your shikara glides through this mirror of tranquillity, you will experience yet another facet of Kashmir.From Watlab, the WularLake stretches away as far as the eye can see, edged by picturesque villages around terraced breeze- rippled fields of paddy, in a riotous burst of colour, the sheer grandeur of the spectacular countryside at leisure.
