A REVIEW ON BHINDAWAS RESERVOIR AND ITS ECOLOGY

ABSTRACT

The aquatic ecosystem includes a broad range of communities that constitute the ecosystem’s features and operations in terms of preserving production as well as food chain. Rapid industrialization causes a large number of contaminants in the aquatic environment, resulting in degradation of quality of water and degradation of aquatic biota. Phytoplankton is the lowest trophic stage of the ecosystem in the food chain and has a major role in fish culture. Aquatic vegetation is a habitat to several aquatic bugs and beetles. The total zooplankton population and species of mollusks and other aquatic animals has been studied as an ecological parameter of the reservoir.
