Seasonal Variations in the Limnochemical Characteristics of An Ox-bow Lake of Eastern Himalayan River of Assam, India
Abstract: The present study was carried out to assess the physicochemical properties of Kalpani beel an ox-bow lake formed by the River Manas, a tributary originated in Bhutan of Eastern Himalayan Biodiversity hotspot. The study was conducted at four selected sites namely i.e. Monakocha (Station-1), Goraimari (Station-2), Bishpani (Station-3) and Bedlangkhaiti (Station-4). Twelve parameters were monitored for a period of one year to assess the standard of water quality of this …

A Study on the Ichthyofaunal Status of an Oxbow Lake of Eastern Himalayan River of Assam, India
Abstract: The status of fish fauna of Kalpani beel in the Chirang district of Assam was studied from June to December, 2016. It is an ecologically important oxbow lake. The beel is fed by flood of Manas River originating from Bhutan and an important tributary of the river Brahmaputra. A total of 55 fish species belonging to 38 genera and 21 families (under 7 order) has been recorded during the study …

Quantification of Snow/Glacier Melt Impacts of Historical and Future Climate Change on Eastern Himalayan River
Abstract: Millions of the population on Eastern Himalayan Rivers (EHR) totally depend on, domestic use, agriculture, and hydropower. Several studies found that climate warming threatens this EHR's hydrological regime. In order to understand the hydrologic response of their headwaters and how climate change affects streamflow, a hydrological modeling study is conducted in the Teesta River Basin (TRB) in EHR using an open-source Quantum Geographical Information System (QGIS) with semi-distributed QSWAT1.5 (Soil …

On Trends in Snow Cover during the Winter Season Over The North – Eastern Himalayas (2000 – 2018)
Abstract: Snow and glaciers in the North-Eastern Himalayas are primary water resources for various rivers originating in the eastern side of the Himalayan range. Global warming and changes in the climate system are believed to play a pivotal role in the changes of snow cover over the North-Eastern Himalayas. The analysis of data from remote sensing sensors can provide useful inputs to studies related to snow cover monitoring and impact assessment. …

Analysis on Decadal Variation of Reservoir Area and Perimeter with Respect to Rainfall and Population
Abstract: Water is an essential element for the survival and proper functioning of all life forms on Earth. In the state of West Bengal like many other regions groundwater rivers and water canals serve as the primary sources of water. This vital resource is distributed across various sectors including agriculture households and industrial facilities following necessary treatment processes. West Bengal's climate is characterized by a tropical monsoon type in its southern …
