The rivers and streams of the Himalayan region are most vulnerable to climate change and are likely to affect all freshwater ecosystems and their fauna. Aquatic organisms have the potential to reflect all sources of disturbances to which they are exposed over time, such as environmental change, climate change, and anthropogenic change. Benthic macroinvertebrates are sensitive to changes in temperature, precipitation, and the associated flow regimes, which make them particularly responsive to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n

This was basically a baseline study on the biological assessment of fifteen different rivers from 700m to 3700m altitudes, in which I used macroinvertebrates as a tool to assess the health status of rivers\/ stream system in two different watersheds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
