About the Book: Limnology
Limnology deals with the study of fresh waters contained within continental
boundaries, such as lakes, and running waters, like rivers. It encompasses the
biology, geology, physics, chemistry and climatology of these water systems, and
may also cover wetland conservation and ecosystem services. Limnological
parameters are an important criterion for determining the suitability of water
for irrigation and drinking purpose. Biological production in any aquatic body
gives direct correlation with its physico-chemical status which can be used as
trophic status and fisheries resources potential. Life in aquatic environment is
largely governed by physico-chemical characteristics and their stability. These
characteristics have enabled biota to develop many
