Impairment caused by pollution has the effect on the aquatic biota. Zooplankters are an excellent indicators of the status of the water body as they are highly susceptible to physical and chemical changes in their environment. There is a need for continuous monitoring of aquatic biota which reflects the condition of existing aquatic environment. This book provides an information on the ponds which are under tremendous anthropogenic pressure. Ranebennur taluka comes under Haveri district of Karnataka State and is blessed with one canal and 193 reservoirs (more than 40 ha).
