During the second half of the 20th century, the Ganga River ecosystem has been continuously altered by several ongoing anthropogenic processes, accommodating multi-dimensional pressure due to increase of nearly four-fold human population. For solution of any environmental issues of the river, the Earth System Science approach is required to have maximum socio-economic benefits to millions of people living in Indian and Bangladesh. A bibliography containing more than 250 references on…

Integrated management of the Ganga River: An ecohydrological approach
Assessment of Spatial and Temporal Variations in Water Quality Dynamics of River Ganga in Varanasi
River Ganga is one of the prime sacred National Rivers of India, closely associated with economic, social, and cultural heritage of Indian people. Recently, it has been subjected to immense…
Spatial and temporal variation in surface water chemistry of a tropical river, the river Bharathapuzha, India
TLDR
It was found that in basins that are more disturbed, monsoonal discharge was much higher than the discharges in other seasons, while the slightly disturbed basin had consistent level of discharge throughout the season.
Spatio-Temporal VariationinCertain Physico- Chemical Parameters ofWater from Imphal River, Manipur
The influences of seasonal changes of water properties from Imphal River were investigated in four locations. A range of water quality variables were measured in the river over a period of 12 months.…
Spatio-temporal Variability of Physico-chemical and Biological Water Quality Parameters of River Ganges in Six Cities Situated on Indo-Gangetic Plain Transect
Rivers in any country are important lifeline for the population living around it whose water is used for drinking, agriculture, industrial and commercial purposes. The increasing anthropogenic…
The environment and fishery status of the River Ganges
This paper briefly describes the current status of ecology, fisheries and biodiversity of the River Ganges. Apart from being the original abode of the most prized Indian major carps, viz., Catla…

Assessment of the anthropogenic interventions and related responses of Karala River, Jalpaiguri, India: a multiple indicator-based analysis
TLDR
It is evident that as the river approaches downstream, the natural state of landcover is lost due to intensive human intervention, mostly due to massive land-use transformation reflected in a 600% increase in built-up area in and around the Jalpaiguri region from 1990 to 2020.
Microbial Biodiversity of Selected Major River Basins of India
Indian subcontinent is one of the richest regions in terms of biodiversity. River and its watersheds are the nurseries and habitats for biodiversity, including the microorganisms. In this paper, the…
