About Book
"Freshwater is critical to the survival of our world. Fresh water is critical for humans and animals, but it requires careful management since there is never enough. Rivers, lakes, marshes, streams, and subsurface aquifers are all examples of freshwater ecosystems. They save and purify water that is vital for humans and animals. Healthy freshwater ecosystems provide water for consumption, agriculture cultivation, industry, energy production, and transportation. Additionally, they aid in erosion prevention, trash disposal, and natural flood protection. However, we have been irresponsible with this crucial resource. Freshwater environments have been mismanaged, resulting in pollution, river drying, and habitat destruction. We have lost a great deal of the world's wetlands and their animals during the previous century. Aquatic, or watery, habitats are classified as freshwater or marine. Freshwater has fewer than one gramme of dissolved solids per litre, primarily salts, of which sodium chloride (NaCl) is the most abundant in terms of living organisms. It is the primary supply of water for the majority of human needs.
This book explores all the important aspects of freshwater ecosystem in the present day scenario. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital aspects in the field of freshwater ecosystem. It deals with freshwater zooplankton, freshwater dispersion plume in the sea, speciation methods in the freshwater and marine environments and organic pollutants in the freshwater system. It also explores estuarine fisheries community-level response to freshwater, bloom-forming cyanobacteria and development of freshwater native species. The book studies, analyses and uphold the pillars of this field and its utmost significance in modern times. It picks up individual branches and explains their need and contribution in the context of the growth of this subject and technology. For all those who are interested in freshwater ecosystem, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
