EVALUATION OF TROPHIC STATUS IN CERTAIN TROPICAL WETLANDS THROUGH ANALYZING THE CERTAIN PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND ITS AFFILIATION WITH ZOOPLANKTON POPULATION

ABSTRACT

Water a unique element for existence of life. It has various uses since the period of origin of human civilization. In the period of imperial rulers water resources was being used for recreation, water sports and celebration of festival – fair on the bund of tanks. In the 8^th and 9^th A.D., the Chandela rulers in district Tikamgarh have constructed a large number of tanks for irrigation and recreation but as time passage these tanks got deformed or extinct through various point and non – point sources of pollution. Present study has been carried out to evaluate the primary status of existing tanks or remaining tanks of chandela dynasty through analyzing the certain physico – chemical parameters and its relationship with zooplankton population.

Keywords: Chandela rulers; Primary status; Tikamgarh; Zooplankton populatio
