Biological Water Quality

Lake Hawassa is one of the Major Ethiopian Rift Valley Lakes which is situated in southern regional state, which has a closed basin system and receives water from only Tikurwuha River and runoff from the catchment. Quality of the lake water is vital for the surrounding community for proper and safe use of the lake. The present study was designed to examine the physicochemical and biological water quality suitability for multiple purposes and to determine trophic state index of the lake for a period of three months from December to February, 2011/12. Water samples were collected from the lake on monthly basis and analyzed for all water quality parameters by using standard methods. Data analysis was performed by descriptive, multivariate analysis (MANOVA%

Biological Water Quality

The water quality of River Kshipra in stretch of 195 km was studied for water quality status using benthic macro invertebrates for all three seasons’ monsoon, winter and summer. The River water quality is subject to severe domestic and industrial pollution at compete stretch of River. In the present investigation a total of 13 Orders of macrobenthic fauna i.e. Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Placoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Odonata, Crustacea, Diptera, Pulmonata, Operculata, Pulmonata, Oligochaeta and Hirudinea belong to 3 Phylum’s Arthropoda, Mollusca and Annelida were reported. Arthropoda was the most dominant group in all seasons. On seasonal comparison of benthic fauna is observe that abundance were decreasing order were, Winter > Monsoon > summer. To monitor the water quality samples from two years (2010-12) from different stations were collected monthly. The works highlighted the condition of the River water in various seasons with respect of the seasonal abundance of the benthic macro-invertebrates organisms mentioned above.

The Eu

The Dender basin in Flanders (Belgium) was used as a case study to implement the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive. During the last 5 years, ample research on pollution loads and ecological water quality has been done on the Dender River. In addition to biological sampling of macroinvertebrates and fish, automated measurement stations were also used to investigate the spatial-temporal variability of the physical-chemical water quality. This research revealed that the pollution of the Dender River is highly variable. The high nutrient loads result in severe algae blooms during summer, leading to very complex diurnal processes. In this paper, the monitoring strategy for the assessment of the biological water quality in the Dender basin has been reviewed in relation to the EU Water Framework Directive. For this, seasonal macroinvertebrate data were collected and assessed. General trends and hidden structures in these data were analysed by means of classification trees, using different inputs (seasons, river types, and subbasins). Validation of the results was obtained by applying statistical methods. Analysis about the presence and abundance of the macroinvertebrates revealed that there is a distinct difference between the biological water quality in the Dender stem river and its tributaries. There are also seasonal differences between the macroinvertebrate communities when the Dender and its tributaries are examined separately. An optimised monitoring strategy is proposed based on these results and the EU Water Framework Directive. This includes two monitoring campaigns in summer and winter every 3 years. Furthermore, a cyclic monitoring scheme was developed to minimise sampling efforts.

The study was to investigate species composition and biological water quality of benthic macroinvertebrates among localities at Gwangseok stream, Jinhae city in Korea. The identified benthic macroinvertebrates were 781 individuals belonged to 19 species, 14 families, 8 orders, 5 classes and 3 phyla. The value of dominance index (DI) was varied from 0.184 (St. C) to 0.333 (St. A) with a mean of 0.235. DI was significantly different among the four regions. Beck-Tsuda's Biotic Index (BI) was varied from 7 (St. D) to 20 (St. C) with a mean of 14. Total ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrate community (TESB) was varied from 12 (St. D) to 38 (St. B) with a mean of 26.3. Average ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrate community (AESB) was varied from 1.714 (St. D) to 1.900 (St. B) with a mean of 1.821. Benthic macroinvertebrate index (BMI) ) was varied from 22.354 (St. A) to 26.474 (St. D) with a mean of 39.756. Shannon-Weaver index (H´) for mammals at the upper regions (St. A and St. B) was higher than those of low regions (St. C and St. D). Berger-Parker’s index (BPI) was varied from 0.218 (St.. C) to 0.346 (St. A). Richness (R1) was different from each other and R2 was not shown significant differences (p < 0.05). Evenness indices (E1-E5) for four stations were different from each other, however there were not shown significant differences (p < 0.05).
