The present communication deals with the study of pollution tolerant aquatic plants of river Kolong, flows through several heavily populated urban sites of Nagaon District. The study reveals enumeration of 54 species of angiosperm followed by 4 species of pteridothytes was reported. Among the identified species Eichhornia crassipes is the most dominant followed by Alternenthera phyloxeroides and Polygonum glabra.
Wet lands are imported self-sustained ecosystem, plays a significant role for the formation of a wide range of well diversified flora. These aquatic and wet land plants have immense importance for sustainable life support systems including economic and aesthetic values and as such have played a central role in the evolution of human settlement, agriculture, culture, industrial growth etc., out of 10 wet lands of Nadia 40 species of economically Important plants have been documented of which 38 belongs to Angiosperms and 2 belongs to Pteridophyte group. These 40 plant species are used in 8 various ways of which 38 medicinal plant species used for the treatment of 49 types of ailments.

Biomonitoring of Pollution in Kolong River, Nagaon, Assam, India2022 •
River is worshiped as Goddess in many religions of the globe. Kolong river, Assam India is a tributary of the mighty river Brahmaputra, which bears the great historical identity. But now it is categorized under the 71 most polluted river of India (Annual Report, Central Pollution Control Board, 2013). It is very important to evaluate the water pollution level regularly to check the effects of anthropogenic activities. Aquatic plants like macrophytes are the indicators of water pollution. Phytoplankton respond to change in water. Abundance of macrophytes were analyzed. Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae were more widely distributed microalgae. The sites of the river are light to moderately polluted. The macrophytes abundance and diversity were higher in Nagaon town site and hence it is found to be highly polluted since it bears lot of anthropogenic activities. Study during Covid-19 pandemic Lockdown period (2021-2022) revealed a tremendous change in microalgal diversity since the water was less disturbed.Growth of important algae was also observed, which indicated a good fishery potential in the river. Analysis of physico-chemical parameters like p H , DO, BOD; Concentration of Ca 2+ , K + , Na + , Mg 2+ and PO 4 2showed significant results. The PO 4 2levels were found to be higher in Nagaon town area where higher amount of microalgal diversity was noticed. The other parameters were almost within the desirable limit. The higher PO 4 2level in urban site indicated that the site was highly polluted. This was due to higher anthropogenic activities running there without any hindrance from the concerned authority. Pollution damages the biotic and abiotic components of an environment. The present study evaluates the presence of many indicator species of water pollution. Effective pollution control measures should be adopted to reduce pollution and to stretch back the river to its original state.
Bacillariophyceae are widely used for the bioassessment of lakes and river due to their broad distribution and their ability to integrate changes occurring in water composition and quality. The objective of current research is to evaluate the Kabini river ecology using diatoms communities as indicators. Water and diatoms samples were collected from Kabini river, Mysuru (India). Louis Laclercq IDSE/5 index is derived from the OMINIDIA 5.3 software. In the currents study total 11 species of diatoms are identified. Variations and abundance in the number of species is observed throughout the study period. The present study states that Kabini river water is Circumneutral throughout the period of study with high levels of chloride. According to the salinity values the water is considered as fresh brackish with chloride levels always less than 500 mg-1 and the salinity values are less than 0.9. The river water supports nitrogen autotrophic diatoms that tolerate elevated levels of organically bound nitrogen. Oxygen requirements of diatoms quite often vary from season to season. Alpha–meso-saprabous conditions prevail, where the water class becomes III, oxygen saturation reaches 25-85% and BOD levels become 4-13 mg/L. All diatom species occurring in the river are strictly moisture tolerant. Although organic pollution in the river ranges between nonexistent to moderate, the indicator species of organic pollution are Gomphonema Paravalum, Amphora Ovalis, Synedra Acus and Synedra Ulna and the percentage of organic pollution ranges between a minimum of 9.14 % during summer and 28.57 % during monsoon. Synedra Acus, Synedra Ulna, Amphora Ovalis are the prime indicators of anthropogenic eutrophication. The number of diatom species is high during summer and least during winter; evenness of species with small variations is predominant.

Diversity of Angiospermic Plants in estuarine and Adjoining Riparian Areas of Sabarmati and Mahi Rivers, Gujarat, IndiaThe present study was conducted with an aim of documenting the diversity of flowering plants in selected localities in the estuarine and adjoining riparian zones of Sabarmati and Mahi rivers of Gujarat, India. The Sabarmati and Mahi rivers are west-flowing perennial rivers having considerable ecological and religious importance. A total of 40 species of flowering plants belonging to 26 different families were recorded in the study area which were dominated by herbaceous plants. Among the 40 species recorded 2 species were trees, 8 species were shrubs, 28 species were herbs and 2 species were grasses. Moreover, as far as ecological groups are concerned, 6 species were halophytes, 13 species were hydrophytes, 17 species were mesophytes and 4 species were xerophytes. In the study area of Sabarmati river, 28 species were recorded that included 2 tree species, 6 shrub species, 18 herb species and 2 grass species. From the view point of ecological groups 5 species were halophytes, 3 species were hydrophytes, 16 species were mesophytes and 4 species were xerophytes. In the study area of Mahi river, 24 species were recorded that included 2 tree species, 6 shrub species, 14 herb species and 2 grass species. From the view point of ecological groups 5 species were halophytes, 12 species were hydrophytes, 5 species were mesophytes and 2 species were xerophytes.

MACROPHYTES AS BIOINDICATOR IN BICHHIYA RIVER, REWA (M.P.), INDIAThe present study was aimed to analyze the macrophytes as bioindicators in Bichhiya River at Rewa. The study was conducted over a period of one year from January 2019 to December 2019 at 3 different sampling stations selected for the purpose in Rewa, a district of Madhya Pradesh, India. The physico-chemical parameters of water such as temperature, pH, DO, BOD, COD, hardness which are most useful for the prediction of distribution of macrophytes were analysed. A sum of 30 species of macrophytes was identified. Presence of macrophytes (1) reflects the nutrients enrichment and organic loading and (2) indicates the water pollution. Abundance and high density of Ceratophyllum demersum, Nitella hyalina, Chara vulgaris, Potamogeton pectinata indicated the enrichment of nutrients and high organic loading.

Systematic Study of Pteridophytes in Relation to Edaphic Factors from the Ghat Region of Pithoragarh, A Part of The Proposed Pancheshwar Dam in UttarakhandPteridophytes are among the earliest terrestrial vascular cryptogams that instead of seeds, proliferate by the dispersion of their spores. Study of systematics includes classification, taxonomy and nomenclature. The Pancheshwar hydropower dam is being built on the Mahakali River at Pancheshwar near the confluence of the Mahakali and the Saryu River, which was the sampling site. To determine the diversity, soil nature, and established relationships between them were the main objectives. The classification and identification of the flora were done by the available literature while soil samples were analyzed in the District Agriculture Department Soil Testing Laboratory and statistical analysis by different softwares. At the species diversity point, there were seven families, 11 genera, and 19 species of pteridophytes recorded in the study area. The frequency, density, abundance, and distribution of each species were calculated, revealing significant variation. Various diversity indexe...
