Study of Impact of Climate Change in Respect of Water Pollution of Gandak River at Sonepur

Assessment of Water Quality and Plant Biodiversity in Gandak River considering Climate Change

Abstract

Water quality and ecological assorted variety and climatic changes of aquatic greenery with respect to distribution in active channels and on banks of the rivers Ghaghara and Gandak have been researched in years 2011–2012. The land useland spread guide of year 2010 demonstrated rural land as the dominant class in both river basins. The examination of aquatic verdure has shown that the dominant plant species in numbers are as per the following macrophytic green growth, aquatic angiosperms, aquatic pteridophytes, sedges, grasses, spices, bushes, climbers and trees gathered from the banks and active channels of rivers Ghaghara and Gandak. Altogether, 207 plants species were accounted for as basic in both river situations, and the rest of the species have demonstrated variability for the two rivers. It was seen that the algal gathering demonstrated higher species decent variety in comparison to other plant gatherings. High numbers of macrophytic species were seen because of the soluble pH and great degree of dissolved oxygen at different sampling locales of the two rivers. Further, multivariate statistical strategies, for example, group analysis and principal partfactor analysis were applied to satisfy the knowledge hole and to recognize the potential sources and types of contaminations.
