Trophic status of Dal Lake: A review
Authors
Kousar Jan, Shaista Masarat, Rajendra Chauhan
Abstract
This review study focuses on the ecology of
Dal Lake, including its water quality assessment, pollution sources,
anthropogenic pressure, and land conversion of the globally recognised Dal
Lake, variety of Macroinvertebrates, Zooplankton, and weed development. The
water quality has drastically changed, particularly in the vicinity of
populated areas, suggesting significant organic contamination of the body of
water. The water quality further declined as a result of frequent floods and
water lodgement. Furthermore, the many aquatic species found in Dal Lake are
unable to thrive due to the abrupt and unexpected rise in temperature in the
valley, which might even be lethal for fish growth and zooplanktons.
