Abstract
Limnology
is an interdisciplinary science that investigates the freshwater environment
holistically by using extensive field and laboratory research. Plankton
diversity and physicochemical parameters play an important role in determining
water quality for irrigation and drinking. In aquatic community, the physical,
chemical and properties of water affects phytoplankton composition, dispersion,
and abundance. Phytoplankton provides food for zooplankton development and growth.
Phytoplankton not only contributes primary production but also serves as food
sources for herbivorous and also plays critical role as bio documentary
indicator for water quality. Plankton population dynamics influenced by a
number of factors, including light intensity, food availability, dissolved
oxygen content, and predators. Low pH as well as high salinity significantly
reduce plankton diversity and density. The biodiversity of an aquatic ecosystem
is being severely reduced or lost, and the impacts are expected to be higher
due to a number of health stressors, such as sewage, home, industrial, and
agricultural effluents that transports organic matter containing hazardous
compounds. Limnological studies are critical for a variety of applications, including
water resource management, flood forecasting and control, environmental
protection, agriculture, and urban planning. The current article is aimed to
give a broader analysis and furnish a broad assessment of literature linked
with the initiation of limnology and work done in the Indian subcontinent
predominantly in Karnataka, with eighty-one quoted sources.
