Lakes and reservoirs hold a great promise as a source of freshwater demand of which will grow with passage of time. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are being neglected and destroyed in rural as well as in urban areas. The main problem in their management involves responsible for water holding capacity. Innumerable lakes and reservoirs scattered all over the country need an urgent management plans for their protection, rehabilitation and conservation. By suitable remedial measures these water bodies can provide an ideal recreational site apart from other benefits like fish production, charging of groundwater table, conditioning of the climate etc. To achieve this, there is a need of a clear-cut lake and reservoir protection strategy as an integral component of natural water policy. In the present book on Ecology of Lakes and Reservoirs an attempt has been made to bring out the present status of lakes and reservoirs. It is includes the physical, chemical and biological aspects. The proposed book include 17 research articles of eminent scientists representing different lakes and reservoirs in India. Today environmental education is made compulsory at school and college levels. Even in recent years many graduate and postgraduate courses have ecology as an important subjects. As a result, there is a need for comprehensive book on Ecology of Lakes and Reservoirs . This gap has been filled by the book. The proposed book will be useful for the ecologists, fishery biologists, students, scientists and policy makers as a reference material. It will also reviews the progress made in the field in the past few decades.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2015 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This study explains that Majalgaon Reservoir is in rich biodiversity of zooplankton, fishes and need to conservation in the future. The investigation generated some important baseline data on the pollution status Zooplankton and fish community structure of the reservoir. These data would be helpful in planning for future policy decisions on using the reservoir for the better conservation and management of the precious wildlife in the world-famous sanctuary. Analysis and interpretation of the data on diversity of biota and water quality parameters provided the necessary information to assess the impact of local people, researcher, and scientist related activities on the limnology of the reservoir. In any aquatic ecosystem limnological characteristic can affect both fauna and flora. Biodiversity contributes both directly and indirectly to human such as food for good health, security, social relationship, life and freedom for choice etc. In last decade people interfere with ecosystem and over exploitation of natural resources its result that biodiversity decreases. But the losses in biodiversity and change in ecosystem service have adversely affected the well-being. The present study is relevant to limnological study, biodiversity of zooplankton and fishes (species) in Majalgaon Reservoir. Recommendations Made by the author: 1. Conservation and ecofriendly utilization of biotic potential like fishery. 2. Creation of awareness in the mind of people related to the water body about importance and survival of the water body through seminars, field study visiting etc. 3. The Majalgaon reservoir is highly potential and can yield substantial quantity of fish production of advanced scientific fish culture technology is implemented and by avoiding excessive fishing throughout the year. 4. To establish fish breeding center, which will helpful for fish culture and its production it will also helpful to solve the same unemployment. 5. To establish ornithological center. 6. It is also recommended that the Majalgaon water reservoir is not only the source of water for population but it is important source of fishery and it is an important aquatic ecosystem. 7. Hence, the combined intensive effect of hydrobiologists, taxonomists, biotechnologists can be helpful for the survival and effective utilization of precious water body.

To fulfill its commitment to clean water, the United States depends on limnology, a multidisciplinary science that seeks to understand the behavior of freshwater bodies by integrating aspects of all basic sciencesâ€"from chemistry and fluid mechanics to botany, ichthyology, and microbiology. Now, prominent limnologists are concerned about this important field, citing the lack of adequate educational programs and other issues. Freshwater Ecosystems responds with recommendations for strengthening the field and ensuring the readiness of the next generation of practitioners. Highlighted with case studies, this book explores limnology's place in the university structure and the need for curriculum reform, with concrete suggestions for curricula and field research at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels. The volume examines the wide-ranging career opportunities for limnologists and recommends strategies for integrating limnology more fully into water resource decision management. Freshwater Ecosystems tells the story of limnology and its most prominent practitioners and examines the current strengths and weaknesses of the field. The committee discusses how limnology can contribute to appropriate policies for industrial waste, wetlands destruction, the release of greenhouse gases, extensive damming of rivers, the zebra mussel and other "invasions" of speciesâ€"the broad spectrum of problems that threaten the nation's freshwater supply. Freshwater Ecosystems provides the foundation for improving a field whose importance will continue to increase as human populations grow and place even greater demands on freshwater resources. This volume will be of value to administrators of university and government science programs, faculty and students in aquatic science, aquatic resource managers, and clean-water advocatesâ€"and it is readily accessible to the concerned individual.

The volume starts with comparative reservoir limnology and deals with problems relating to tropical, semi-arid and temperate reservoirs. The second part concerns mathematical models of reservoirs, including new techniques for investigating their limnology. These cover physical, chemical and biological phenomena, remote sensing and the use of modelling to establish the most efficient strategy for water quality sampling. In the third, on reservoir water quality management, the potential available in fish population management for biomanipulation of reservoir water quality is introduced. Also included is a valuable section on a wide range of water quality measures, coming from the well-known Czech Hydrobiological Laboratory. Finally the editors summarise the present state of reservoir limnology. This book will be of interest to hydrobiologists and aquatic ecologists, reservoir and sanitary engineers, fisheries officers, postgraduate teaching, and the water industry dealing with drinking water supply and will provide insight into regulated rivers. It draws information from all over the world and is relevant to the whole world.

Limnology is a part of environmental sciences. It is concerned with the study of inland water bodies, like lakes, rivers, floodplains, wetlands, reservoirs, ponds, etc. Freshwater ecology is a branch of limnology. This book combines these two disciplines and analyses the various chemical, geological, biological and other attributes of water bodies. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of limnology and the recent researches in this field. The various advancements made in this area are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail in the text. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. This book, with its detailed analyses and data will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.

Anthropogenic influences, such as changing climatic conditions, domestic and industrial pollution, eutrophication, and salinization, have great impacts on freshwater systems. Nutrient cycling in freshwater ecosystems, population dynamics and community structure, water quality, sustainability, and management of ecosystem stability are increasingly important. Establishing a management strategy using a multidisciplinary approach ensures the sustainability of water resources. The present and future work being done in the field of limnology is necessary for preserving and protecting our freshwater ecosystems. In this respect, limnology is a rapidly developing science that has many significant aspects. The scope of this book covers all aspects of freshwater environment studies, from physical and chemical to biological limnology. This book provides useful information on basic, experimental, and applied limnology to researchers and decision makers.

Limnology is conventionally divided into two groups-lentic, standing or still water habits and lotic or running water habitats. The lotic follows a gradient from springs to mountain brooks to streams to rivers. The lentic involves a gradient from lakes to ponds to bogs, swamps and marshes. F.A. Forel (1841-1912), professor in the University of Lausanne, Switzerland recognized the real biological opportunity in the lake investigations and by his work become the founder of modern Limnology. Chumly (1910) listed 116 limnological papers published by Forel during the period 1868-1909 which occupy a significant place in the history of limnology. Forel's investigations focused on the lake Geneva. Now-a-day Limnology is defined as study of biological productivity of inland waters such as stagnant water bodies like lakes, ponds, pools, puddles, reservoirs, tanks etc and flowing waters such as rivers, tributaries, brooks, creeks, canals etc. It is a multifarious subject embracing such diverse fields on Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Zoology, Botany etc. Considering the plethora of problems, Department of Zoology, Yogeshwari Mahavidyalaya, Ambajogai in collaboration with Indian Association of Aquatic Biologists, Hyderabad organized a National Conference on Current Perspectives in Limnology, during 25th-26th December, 2009, at Ambajogai (Maharashtra).The conference had attracted participants from many parts of the country and also from abroad. This volume is based on the proceedings of the conference.It is hoped that the contents of this volume would provide a new orientation and impetus to freshwater fisheries development in India and offer better inputs for scientific management and utilization of the resources on a long term sustainable basis, contributing to food security, economic viability of operations, ecological and environmental safety. The present book is compendium of recent original research in the field of limnology. It is an assemblage of up-to-date information of rapid advances and developments taking place in the field of limnolgy. The book is a unique compilation of 40 chapters which discusses exhaustive studies on planktonology, physico-chemical environment, fisheries, toxicology, physiology etc. With its application oriented and interdisciplinary approach, the book would be immensely useful to students, teachers, researchers, scientists, policymakers, environmental lawyers and others interested in limnology
